Experience

  1. Full Stack Web Developer @ SMART Solutions

    React Redux Express Sequelize Django Postgre SQLite Git
    I managed development projects such as custom CRMs for small businesses, building a Django/Python backend with an Angular frontend. After deploying our CRM solutions, I helped increase clients’ sales by 40% by enabling higher productivity through the well-structured system I designed. I also improved workflow efficiency by creating a customer-specific database schema and implementing effective state management with Redux, which allowed users to access only the relevant data at each step and save about one hour per day. To ensure quality and reliability, I performed unit and end-to-end testing for new features using Mocha and Playwright, validating each feature upon completion and consistently delivering solutions aligned with client requirements.
  2. Freelance Web Developer / Graphic Designer

    React Svelte Bootstrap Firebase Angular Material PHP Android Git Wordpress
    I developed custom web solutions for small businesses in Cuba and the United States, elevating brand awareness and increasing user traffic. I led branding initiatives and redesigned landing pages using Astro and Figma, which drove higher user engagement and strengthened social media presence. I also reduced website response times by 50% by minimizing the amount of JavaScript executed and leveraging AstroJS’s build process. I collaborated with clients to create visually appealing and user-friendly designs that effectively communicated their brand message, resulting in increased customer engagement and satisfaction.

I also integrated AI models to process call recordings and generate transcripts, subjects, and descriptions for support tickets, while providing agents with suggested SOPs, knowledge base articles, and internal procedure documentation based on the recording content. In addition, I leveraged Freshservice automation tools alongside our API architecture to enable an automated offsite backup workflow, notifying clients via SMS with connect/disconnect instructions and performing backup status checks via SMS—reducing outbound calls by 35%.
