Custom web development: WordPress, web apps and integrations
I'm a computer engineer with more than ten years of building for the web. I plan and build custom work: WordPress themes and plugins written in code, web apps, campaign sites and the integrations behind them. Working with an agency, I've built more than 40 WordPress projects for wine and spirits brands in Chile and abroad. Before that I built platforms for HR tech, health tech, ticketing and ESG companies. Over the last few years I've adopted agent-driven development as a standard part of how I deliver. It has widened what I take on, from WordPress into web apps, admin systems and interactive work, and it lets me move faster on each project while I keep the architecture and code review in my own hands.
