Web platforms
Production websites, dashboards and internal tools designed around real workflows.

I build the pages people order from, and the servers that keep them online.
Since 2022 I've been the sole engineer keeping a Linux game-server platform running for over 200,000 registered users — and building production websites for businesses that needed more than a template.

about
A developer who grew up keeping other people's systems alive.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Cenfotec (2022). Most of what I actually know, though, came from being handed a production server with 200,000 real users and no one else to ask.
That's taught me to move carefully, document what I touch, and pick up whatever a project genuinely needs — C, PHP, JavaScript, Linux administration — instead of sticking to one comfortable stack. I adapt quickly to new environments and I'm always looking for the next thing to learn.

experience
Where I've worked
WestZone
Sole administrator of the Linux infrastructure behind a multiplayer game server with 200,000+ registered users. Write and maintain server-side logic in C and Pawn, and build and maintain the platform's web properties: the main site, community forum, player control panel and staff admin panel.
HalalCR.com
Built the website for a halal-certifying institution, where the platform carries real authority — it's the system of record for validating certifications and receiving visit requests. Every part of it had to be built and tested with that responsibility in mind.
PuroAromaCR.com
Designed and built an e-commerce site for a Costa Rican perfumery on WordPress and WooCommerce, moving the business from WhatsApp-only orders to a self-service catalog and checkout.

Contributing back to what I depend on
An open-source multiplayer game-server platform — the same category of software WestZone runs on. I contribute fixes and improvements upstream.
View contribution →A Linux firewall built on XDP/eBPF for high-performance packet filtering — the kind of tool that matters when you're keeping a server with 200,000 users reachable and safe.
View contribution →Contributions to the Laravel ecosystem, including improvements to Socialstream, which powers authentication and social login workflows.

Useful systems, built for the work behind them.
E-commerce
Catalogs and checkout experiences that help businesses move beyond manual orders.
Backend systems
APIs, integrations and server-side features that keep products reliable as they grow.
Linux infrastructure

The website Abdel built completely changed how my business runs. We used to take almost every order manually over WhatsApp — now most customers browse the catalog themselves and check out right on the site.

Let's talk about what you're building.
Whether it's a server that needs someone reliable behind it, or a website that needs to do more than look nice — I'd like to hear about it.
