About

I'm a software engineer from Lima, Peru. I work primarily with Go, TypeScript, and cloud infrastructure — building backends, distributed systems, and developer tools.

I'm currently a software engineer at Clerk, and I keep building things with friends at Crafter Station. Before that, I worked on Go-based services for Disney Parks at Globant and on backend systems at ID BI.

Outside of work I publish on YouTube, compete on Codechef, and help organize community events around AI and shipping fast.

Community

Crafter Station v0: Zero To Agent

May 2 · Lima, Peru

Hosted by Crafter Station, led by v0 by Vercel Ambassador Railly Hugo, and run in parallel in Peru and Colombia. I attended the Lima edition and met builders working on great projects. Grateful as always to the Crafter Station team for putting it together.

Crafter Station ShipOrSink · UploadX

Sunday biweekly challenge

Two hours, a Sunday, no excuses — a product shipped. For Crafter Station's ShipOrSink, I built UploadX: an open-source, developer-first file upload solution. Direct-to-storage uploads via presigned URLs, type-safe middleware for auth and validation, and S3-compatible self-hosted storage. Built with Clerk, Next.js, and MinIO. The goal wasn't to reinvent the wheel, just to make it ours without losing the DX.
