Full-Stack Web Developer · Lima, Peru (UTC−5) · Remote
Full-stack web developer since 2013, building with TypeScript, React, Remix and React Router. I build the web app at Daffy and maintain open-source libraries with 3M+ npm downloads a month combined, used across the Remix and React Router ecosystem. I care about the Web Platform, progressive enhancement and APIs other developers find obvious.
Experience

Web Developer · Daffy (formerly Silverback Ventures)
- Build the web app of Daffy, a donor-advised fund that grew into a top-10 DAF in the U.S. with more than 16,000 accounts.
- Migrated the app from Next.js to Remix in nine months with no feature freeze, running both in one server with shared sessions while routes moved over one at a time.
- Designed a Remix backend-for-frontend over the Rails API, with a schema-validated API client, generated PDF donation reports and Open Graph images.
- Extracted the patterns into Remix Utils, Remix Auth strategies and remix-i18next, now open-source libraries other teams build on.

Frontend Lead · Able
- Led the frontend architecture of an internal product being prepared for public launch, building with React against a Rails backend.

Support Engineer · ZEIT (now Vercel)
