Hello! I'm Gabriel.

Senior Full-Stack Engineer

I'm the engineer who cares how it feels as much as how it scales. For 12+ years I've shipped web, mobile and desktop products end to end, across 8 companies in payments, investing, property and healthcare. I start from the business goal, then design the data, APIs and interface around the outcome, side by side with design, marketing and business. I've led engineering on a European payments company's website revamp and AI support across chat, email and voice, and I use AI coding agents to spend my time on the decisions that matter.
