Products with a pulse.

Breeze

Android · Music & Audio

A music player where friends listen together and chat in real time. I designed the interface on Material 3, spent a lot of effort refining its animations and feel, and wrote my own backend for accounts, live chat and music sharing.

02 / Experience

Six years in the mix.

  1. 2025 — Now

    Uopp Inc.

    Lead Developer · Remote, US

    A marketplace where businesses sell through short vertical product videos. I lead the Kotlin and Swift architecture of its apps, engineered the feed's video playback with caching and preloading so videos start instantly without wasting data, and built an AI video studio for creating and editing product videos.

    Launched on the App Store and Google Play with 1,000 users on day one.

  2. 2024 — 2025

    Alcancia LLC

    Frontend Developer · Remote, Mexico

    Migrated the backend from Firebase to a REST API, then led a full UI and UX redesign and a frontend architecture overhaul for scalability and performance. Built public lists and the monetisation system that lets creators earn from them.

    The relaunch brought in ~10K new users and creators.

  3. 2023 — 2024

    Carhunt

    Frontend Developer · Remote, US

    A private network where local businesses share alerts in live threads, from known troublemakers to lost keys. Built the app, implemented access roles for employees, managers and owners, and led the UI and UX from user flows to final visuals.

    Four to five companies on board ahead of launch.

  4. 2020 — 2023

    QikPik Inc.

    Lead Developer & Designer · Remote, Singapore · Team of 4

    Designed it in Figma and built it as a responsive Flutter Web app: a live room where users annotate and draw on shared PDFs and images, with PDF parsing, a custom CustomPaint drawing engine (stroke and coordinate math by hand) and live chat on annotations, on Hasura (GraphQL).

    Educational institutions and ~200 students before launch.

  5. 2020 — Now

    Fiverr & PowerBox

    Freelance Full-Stack Developer · Remote, worldwide · Part-time

    Projects for international clients through Fiverr and my own studio, PowerBox. Recently a sales and inventory platform for a multi-branch phone retailer, as a PWA and a React Native app, and the website and company email server for Vinculum, a law firm in Caracas.

    A perfect 5.0 rating across 17 completed projects.
