End-to-end ownership
Scoping, data model, frontend, backend, deployment and support. You get one accountable engineer, not a hand-off chain.

I ship production web and mobile apps, end to end and fast.
Angular, Svelte, React and React Native on Postgres. 150+ apps in production for brands like PepsiCo, Roche and MSD, most of them live within one to three weeks of the brief.

Experience
What I have delivered
Real-time brand experiences at scale
2021 – present · Lead front-end engineer (contract)
Shipped 150+ real-time event and brand-experience apps: live trivia and voting, raffles, branded games, registration and QR check-in, test-drive booking and virtual events. Built with Angular, React, Svelte and Socket.IO, for live audiences of up to 5–10k concurrent users.
A delivery system, not one-off builds
Internal tooling
Built a scaffolding CLI with templates and feature flags (PWA, push notifications) plus a shared Angular architecture, so recurring projects start from code that has already survived live events and can be rebranded in days.
Offline-first kiosks for live venues
PWA · Workbox
Kiosk apps that keep running on unreliable venue hotspots: cached media, last-known-state fallbacks and unattended boot. Never an error screen in front of the public.
Long-term engineering partner
2019 – present · DevAces
For an industrial distribution group: a Turborepo monorepo with three company sites (Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit), a custom CRM, hosting and transactional email on a retainer. For a national medical specialty council: a member platform with online elections, virtual credentials and a searchable directory.
How I work
Senior ownership, startup speed
AI-assisted, human-reviewed
I use Claude Code and Codex every day behind review gates, CI and strict types. That lets me move several projects in parallel without cutting corners.
Fast, predictable delivery
Most projects go from brief to live in one to three weeks, with scope that separates new capability from reskins.
Remote-ready
Based in Mexico City with working hours that overlap US Central and Eastern time. Fluent English, native Spanish.

About
Hi, I’m Alan
I’ve been shipping production software since 2018, for enterprise brands through agency work and for my own products. I run DevAces, a small independent studio, and I stay hands-on in every project.
Before software I studied Biomedical Engineering at Universidad La Salle, where I built an electronic health record system that rehabilitation physicians used at Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación. I also contributed Svelte support to UploadThing, an open-source TypeScript file-upload library.
