Hey!
I'm Leo

I've been working in tech and building products/services on the internet for the last ~11 years, more on the backend side, but I enjoy playing with frontend, infrastructure, and even mobile apps with Flutter


About Me

I'm a software engineer with 11 years of experience. During this time I've learned and grown in distinct scopes, from understanding what software engineering itself is to the importance of being part of a company where I share their mission/vision.

I've worked building hybrid mobile apps, with frontend, backend, and some things about infrastructure (I love learning new stuff). I'm a person who loves coding, and every day I try to polish my skills to be a better software engineer, taking care of details in implementations that I'm building, from creating good documentation, delivering quality software, measurable, and tested, to the most optimal way to work in a team.

Some tools that I've used (don't have a particular order):

Personal/Side Projects

BeeShop

Present

A small MVP where I'm currently working. The idea is simple: allow users to publish a product catalog, filtered by categories. When the customer places an order, we store it in a DB without processing the payment, and send notifications through email with a csv with the order's details. The client is a friend who has a wholesale store and his customers should complete an excel document to place an order.

TechBalance App

Present

I'm working (as a freelance) as a backend engineer taking some devops responsibilities. We're building an MVP for an application to have "home kinesiology sessions".

Rocota

2023 - Present

It's an e-commerce store for Rocota, a hand-made brand that creates beautiful pottery pieces. I'm building it with Shopify.

Tomaton

2020

It's an application to enjoy with friends simulating a board game. It's a drinking game that each player can play on their device. It has games in real time where everyone votes for someone or mimics with temporizers. It was written with Flutter, using Cloud Firestore, and designed from scratch with Figma. It's abandoned, but I'm planning/developing a second version.

Pide Club

2019

It was a small e-commerce store for people who needed control of their products, manage public catalogs, and process orders. The potential clients were Instagram profiles that sell products or services via DM. Sadly, the MVP/pilot didn't have the expected impact.

Motorex Chile

2015

I built custom e-commerce with Laravel to solve particular business requirements in their B2B and B2C operations.


Education

I started acquiring technical knowledge when I was 15. I studied in a technical school where I got a technical title in telecommunications. After that, from 2013 until 2017, I worked during the day and studied Computer Engineering at Duoc UC at night. However, most of my knowledge was acquired by resolving problems in companies where I worked, and the constant self-learning.

I completed some courses in Udemy about Flutter, GraphQL, and AWS CloudFormation.


!(No) tech things

I live with my partner, my little princess (my daughter), 2 bunnies, and 2 cockatiels. It's a beautiful family, even if it sometimes looks like a zoo. For some years, I volunteered in a pet rescue ONG; spending time helping animals was something meaningful, and I hope to help again in another organization. I love a good cup of coffee with a V60 Dripper and tasty beans. Sometimes, I play cards with friends, like Magic or Mitos y Leyendas, and with my partner, we play Overcooked 2 at the end of the day; we love that game.
