Experience

Panitapp

An application to help students and teachers communicate and organize all the information about their courses in one place. The app was developed using a microservices architecture with languages like Go, Python, PHP, and TypeScript. It has seven microservices, an API gateway implemented using Apollo GraphQL and two clients, a web client using Vue, and a mobile client using React Native.

I developed the calendar management microservice using Go and was part of the team that developed the mobile client and the API Gateway.

Cattleya Tours

An application for eco-tourism in Colombia, similar to Airbnb but focused on nature-related activities. The application had a client-server architecture, the back end was developed using C# with the .NET Core framework, and the front end (Web client) was developed with React.
