## The journey

Every developer has a story. Here's mine, from writing my first game to building products used by thousands.

### 2024 — 10 SaaS and counting

Reached a milestone of 10 SaaS products including 4 standalone applications. From Imejis.io to monday.com integrations, each product taught me something new about building for users.

### 2022 — The vibe coder era

Embraced the indie hacker mindset. Started building products that I wanted to exist in the world. Shipped fast, learned faster, and discovered the joy of solving my own problems.

### 2019 — Co-founded BaruzoTech

Together with my co-founders, launched BaruzoTech. What started as a small team has grown to serve 40+ clients across 20+ countries with 150+ successful projects.

### 2018 — Backend engineer

Transitioned to backend development, diving deep into Node.js, databases, and system architecture. Built scalable APIs and learned the art of writing clean, maintainable code.

### 2016 — The game developer

Started my journey building games, learning the fundamentals of programming and user experience. This is where I fell in love with creating things that people actually use.

## What I do today

As CTO at BaruzoTech and an indie maker, I wear multiple hats.

### BaruzoTech

Leading technology strategy for a team that builds custom software, integrations for monday.com, Airtable, and Google Workspace.

- Google Cloud Partner
- monday.com Silver Partner

### Indie products

Building SaaS products like Imejis.io, tools I wish existed. Each product is a lesson in user needs, market fit, and shipping fast.

- 4 standalone apps
- 10+ SaaS products

## Tech I work with

After years of experimentation, these are the tools I reach for.

Node.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Google Cloud, Docker, Redis, GraphQL, Serverless.

## My philosophy

I believe in building products that solve real problems. Not vanity metrics, not feature bloat, just software that makes someone's life a little easier.

I've learned that the best code is the code you don't write. Simplicity scales. Complexity compounds. Every line of code is a liability until proven otherwise.

Most importantly, I believe in shipping. An imperfect product in users' hands teaches you more than a perfect product in your head ever will.

## Let's connect

Whether you want to discuss a project, need help scaling your startup's tech, or just want to chat about building products, I'm always happy to connect.
