About

I build software that actually gets used.

I'm Jose, a full-stack engineer focused on Laravel and Next.js. I've spent the last few years building production SaaS systems, internal tools, and platforms where good architecture isn't optional.

I care about the decisions behind the code: the tradeoffs, the constraints, the why. Most of what I build ends up in front of real users with real workflows, which keeps me honest.
