Experience

Experience: from developer to CEO and software architect

I started building projects in 2019. Since 2022 I have worked with companies: first at Osaka Esports, then at CodyExpert, and today as software architect at Brentec and CEO of Adventure Planet Group.

Timeline

  1. 2025 – today

    Adventure Planet Group

    CEO and AdventureApp architect

    • Leads the group and designed AdventureApp, the platform every website in the network sells on, built with Next.js and Laravel.
    • Designed Site Engine, the system that automates domain purchasing and configuration so every site is managed from the central panel while keeping its own flexibility.
    • Integrated Stripe and PayPal as payment gateways for tour and ticket purchases.
    • Set up and administers the full infrastructure on a dedicated VPS: server, domains, DNS and SSL certificates.
    • Added AI-driven bots to the platform to support and guide tourists.
  2. 2025 – today

    Brentec Soluciones Tecnológicas

    Software Architect

    • Designed the architecture for more than half a dozen simultaneous systems for the fuel distribution industry, end to end from the database to server deployment.
    • Studied Mexico's tax authority (SAT) volumetric-control regulation in full to define how Bonobo generates and validates the JSON file submitted to the authority.
    • Defined the billing processes for "Carta Porte" (the mandatory bill-of-lading complement for road freight in Mexico) and for global invoices issued outside their normal window.
    • Built the PHP API that connects the Monedero loyalty mobile app to the volumetric-control backend.
    • Integrated the platform with CNE (Mexico's energy regulator) for GPS monitoring of transport units, reporting position every 30 seconds.
    • Designed a knowledge base of business types (fuel retailers, distributors, carriers, self-consumption operators) that untangles the different rules each one follows.
    • Maintains Congo, the system that holds Brentec's master catalogs — the ones that migrate down into the rest of the company's platforms — and is responsible for some of its critical operations, so the rest of the team can keep building on top of it.
  3. 2024 – 2025

    CodyExpert

    Full-Stack Developer

    • Built a management panel for fuel-service establishments with dashboards, billing, policy generation, expense reports, service policies, installations, and delivery guides — his first hands-on exposure to volumetric control.
    • Designed a distribution-route tracking platform for a distributor of an international beer brand, with a search engine that dynamically concatenates SQL statements to query any combination of filters across thousands of records. He worked with React, PostgreSQL and MariaDB, among other technologies.
  4. 2022 – 2023

    Osaka Esports

    Full-Stack Developer

    • Maintained a production system used to manage esports teams, players and their associated platforms.
    • Worked in plain JavaScript, HTML and CSS, with no framework, with the code running directly from the client's platform.
    • Fixed bugs and adjusted existing functionality on a codebase he did not design from scratch.
    • First professional exposure to web development, after his earlier training in C and Java.
  5. 2019

    Education

    First projects in C and Java

    • Started building his own projects in 2019, versioning his code with Git ever since.

Artificial intelligence

AI has already changed how companies work. Use it with judgment.

Artificial intelligence is changing work and society: it does in seconds what used to take days and puts powerful tools within reach of any business. It also demands judgment: what data it sees, what it can do and who reviews what it proposes.

I use it every day to build faster, and I integrate it into my clients’ systems where it truly saves time or money. I don’t sell it as magic: I put it to work with permissions and a person who decides.

  • Automation

    Repetitive work moves to the machine: data entry, reconciliations, reports and notifications that used to take someone hours.

  • Assistants with permissions

    Like the one in AdventureApp: it queries and acts only on what each user is allowed to, asks for confirmation before changing anything and logs everything.

  • Analysis

    Natural-language questions about your own data —sales, inventory, payments— with answers you can check.
