Buenos Dias 👋🏼


I am a Full Stack Developer, Husband and Dog Dad living in Charlotte, NC.

Originally from Miami, I have made Charlotte my home for the last 10 years. Currently, he works as a Technology Director at Union, an award winning digital agency in Charlotte. I lead a team of 7 devs as we build innovative platforms for our clients using tools like Craft CMS, Angular, React, NextJS, Stencil and more.

Away from work I continue to create, building websites and apps for fun in efforts to explore new tech and continue learning.
