About me

Professional summary

I design and build production software where architecture, data, and interface behavior are tightly connected—from multi-tenant operational platforms and accessible maps to WebGL/WebGPU tools and browser-native technical applications.

My recent work uses SvelteKit and TypeScript, supported by Node, PostgreSQL, Python services, testing, and documented delivery. I am most useful when a team needs senior ownership of both the product surface and the system underneath it.

  • Built and modernized production systems with multi-tenancy, roles, and operational workflows.
  • Designed reusable visualization and mapping systems for Nesta UK.
  • Led frontend architecture and a four-developer team.
  • Built open-source WebGL/WebGPU and computational design tools.

How I work

I take on full-time roles, contract engagements, part-time technical advisory, and fractional architecture / technical-lead work, including occasional Fractional CTO engagements when that fits. I work remotely across the Americas and Europe. I'm strongest where architecture, product delivery, and rich interfaces intersect: finance and regulated-operations systems, data-rich products, and AI-augmented engineering workflows.

Comfortable owning delivery end to end or plugging into an existing team as a senior individual contributor or lead.

Best-suited roles

Three primary fit clusters — Fractional CTO stays secondary engagement language.

  • Staff / Principal Product or Frontend Engineer For teams needing strong frontend architecture, technical product judgment, and production ownership.
  • Software Architect / Technical Lead For architecture, migrations, technical direction, and cross-layer decision-making.
  • Specialist Consultant For data-heavy interfaces, browser graphics, computational tools, visualization, and technically demanding prototypes.

Foreword

This site is a deliberate craft exercise: lean semantic HTML, clear separation of structure from presentation and behavior, and performance-aware implementation. A dedicated print stylesheet drops the interactive background and reflows the content into a paper-ready CV if you print this page — progressive enhancement that keeps one content model for screen and print. For a shareable HTML résumé, PDF download, or print without the panel UI, use the Résumé page. It reflects the same care I bring to client and product work, applied here as a long-running personal build.

Experience

2025–Present / Escriba Finanzas — Multi-Tenant Legal-Finance Operations Platform

Modern reboot and expansion of a legal-sector credit-operations system originally delivered in 1999–2002. Rebuilt as a commercial multi-tenant web platform using SvelteKit 2, TypeScript, PostgreSQL row-level security, and Drizzle ORM. Covers credit portfolios, legal cases, payments, reporting, team invitations, role-based access, and migration from a legacy Classic ASP estate. Includes structured documentation, Vitest and Playwright coverage, and an engineering-first delivery process. Commercial product in active development.

2024-Present / Personal R&D — Multifractal Time-Series Prediction Platform

Monorepo research platform combining a SvelteKit frontend, Python ML engine, and custom C++/Rust shared-library resamplers for multiscale time-series tensor generation. Designed a recency-weighted temporal representation that preserves high-resolution recent samples while folding lower-resolution long-horizon context into fixed-shape 3D training blocks. Implemented geometric bin-width ladders, stacked resampling windows, timeline-coupled time encodings, and DSI/multifractal analysis to guide segmentation and view construction. Built feature pipelines generating difference, tangent, and outer-product matrix channels to encode cross-channel structure before modeling. Python stack includes Hydra, Optuna, TensorFlow/Keras, pytest-benchmark, unit tests, experiment workflows, and documentation. Benchmarks on large training-style batches show ~20–40× throughput over a NumPy-first reference path, keeping preparation tractable for series with millions of samples. Independent upskilling project, not commercial product scope.

2024–Present / Independent Web Development

Independent Svelte/ SvelteKit web development for production sites and promotional platforms. Example: Aires de Río — a residential development website built with TypeScript, SvelteKit, server-side contact handling, Node-based deployment, and custom 3D/photogrammetry-based hero visuals. Focused on polished frontend execution, interactive presentation, performance, and deployment-ready delivery.

Technical Skills & Delivery Strengths

Product engineer and software architect with deep full-stack, frontend, data-visualization, systems, and delivery experience. Current work centers on SvelteKit, TypeScript, SQL/NoSQL databases, testing, documentation, and LLM-assisted development; long-range background includes systems architecture, graphics, native code, and technical leadership.

Full-stack & production web

Core: TypeScript, JavaScript, Svelte / SvelteKit, React, Node.js, HTML, CSS, Web APIs, REST, accessibility-minded UI, data visualization, XState, Three.js / WebGL.

Recent shipping stack centers on SvelteKit 2 and TypeScript across commercial multi-tenant software, personal sites, and R&D frontends. Earlier professional work includes React CRMs, Nesta-era Svelte/SvelteKit data visualization, and Node- and Python-backed services.

Uses modern LLM coding assistants and agent-style workflows for implementation, review, refactoring, migration, and documentation while retaining direct code ownership and quality control.

Leadership & delivery

Engineering team leadership, frontend architecture, hiring, technical interviews, mentoring, training, roadmap decisions, stakeholder alignment, and technology selection.

Direct experience leading development teams across multiple projects, including frontend-architect and backend work on a React + Python/Flask/PostgreSQL CRM. CTO and technical project-management roles added hiring, training, directing developers, and aligning engineering work with commercial requirements. Also delivered web-technology workshops for artists covering HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Platform, data & quality

SQL and NoSQL databases — e.g. PostgreSQL (with row-level security), SQL Server, MySQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch / OpenSearch — plus Drizzle ORM, Vitest, Playwright, pytest, technical documentation, migration planning, and testable delivery workflows.

Current product work emphasizes multi-tenant PostgreSQL with RLS, structured documentation, and automated tests. Prior stacks include Flask, SQLAlchemy, JDBC-backed multi-tier systems, and legacy database-backed business applications.

Systems, native code & legacy depth

Systems architecture, interactive graphics, communications, data acquisition and control, operating systems, utilities, and long-running business systems.

Comfortable across Linux, Windows, and UNIX-class environments, with early-career breadth from PC and embedded-era platforms through today's cloud-oriented deployments.

Representative languages include JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C#, F#, C/C++, assembly, BASIC, Pascal, and Fortran. Historical web and enterprise experience includes JSP/servlets, JDBC, XML/XSL, Classic ASP, ASP.NET, IIS-era deployments, Socket.IO, and Angular.js-era SPAs — retained where migrations or maintenance matter, not as the current default stack.

ML / AI engineering

Python, TensorFlow/Keras, Hydra, Optuna, experiment workflows, benchmarking, C++, and Rust performance libraries.

Personal R&D focuses on multiscale time-series preparation and modeling. The emphasis is engineering depth: numerical representation, fast native resampling, feature pipelines, experiment automation, and integration with standard Python ML tooling. Not positioned as commercial ML leadership.

Creative, visualization & tooling

Blender, photogrammetry-informed 3D for the web, Three.js/WebGL, data visualization, Adobe/GIMP design workflows, WebStorm, and modern editor toolchains.

Earlier professional work included 3D Studio Max, Illustrator, print/video production tooling, CGI imaging, graphics pipelines, and interactive visual experimentation.

Teaching, communication & commercial context

Extensive teaching, mentoring, and training experience. Background in marketing, advertising, print, radio, TV, web, and direct sales, useful when engineering work must connect clearly to users, clients, and business requirements.
