This role is a direct continuation of my work at UruIT following the company merger. Remained on the same project teams to provide continuity for international clients.

• As the lead Full-stack Developer, I took ownership of revitalizing a legacy internal notification system for a major telecommunications company. My primary responsibility was to address significant technical debt by refactoring the codebase, modernizing dependencies, and re-establishing a stable, functional platform. In parallel with this technical work, I partnered directly with the client to define new requirements, manage the product backlog and plan the roadmap. I also executed a on-premise server migration to a Dockerized Linux environment, rebuilding its deployment infrastructure from the ground up.

After relocating to Uruguay for personal and professional growth, I continued my role developing full-stack applications for various international clients, primarily in the US. This period marked a key point in my career, as I deepened my expertise in both back-end architecture with SOLID principles and modern front-end development with frameworks like React. I worked across diverse tech stacks, including .NET and Node.js, and my contributions go beyond coding to include participation in pre-sales efforts and interviewing new candidates.

Responsibilities included developing and maintaining services and web systems using ASP.NET C#, WCF, WebAPI, Angular, JavaScript, and SASS.

I led the design, architecture, and implementation of the company's first online reservation system from scratch. I was responsible for the complete project lifecycle, from architecting the database changes to developing the full-stack application. Beyond this project, I also developed various internal services, systems and APIs and played a key role in overhauling the new corporate ERP.
