About me
I came to code the long way round.
I am a self-taught developer specialised in Laravel, living in Tijuana, Baja California. I am not a programmer by trade: my passion for technology and constant learning led me to explore and master tools that make life simpler for other people. When I am not writing code or with my family, I follow what is happening in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
From my first steps in a small town in Sinaloa I learned that technology can be a bridge to real solutions. My professional career started in human resources, but it was the urge to simplify processes that led me to found API Market, a platform that connects systems to government databases in Mexico to speed up and automate critical processes.
Side projects are my escape valve and my creative lab. Each one reflects the same philosophy: build useful, simple, practical tools that solve real problems. My goal is to keep learning and building solutions that give people back their time and peace of mind.

My path
From Sinaloa to the terminal.
-
Batury, Angostura
A thousand people, technology always arriving late, and a kid asking how circuits and machines worked on the inside.

The repaired phone
In 2010 my mother bought a broken second-hand phone so we could stay in touch. She replaced the screen flex and brought it back to life. That LG Cookie was my first phone and my first lesson in reverse engineering.

Industrial engineering
I chose the degree for the future it promised. I kept something better: the habit of measuring a process and removing every step that is not needed.
-
Human resources
Nine years and up to 300 hires a week. Validating documents by hand, file after file, taught me exactly what was worth automating.
-
Laravel, at night
I learned from forums and documentation after work, with my own projects as a testing ground. Nobody gave me permission: I simply started.

API Market
The answer to a problem I had myself: connecting systems to government databases in Mexico without the paperwork in between.
Track record
I also build companies.
API Market was not born in an office: it came out of paperwork I suffered every week in human resources. Getting it off the ground forced me to learn what the Laravel docs do not teach — validating an idea, charging for it, explaining it in five minutes to a panel.
In 2023 POSiBLE, Fundación Televisa’s entrepreneurship programme, selected us for its National Camp along with 90 other projects from across Mexico. Five days of finance and business-model mentoring that ended in a pitch on stage, and a community of Mexican founders I am still part of.
Then came the NeA Innovation Award in 2024, the invitation to Talent Land and the POSiBLE podcast in 2025, and in 2026 my turn on the other side of the microphone: giving the talk to Baja California’s state finalists about what it really takes to ship a product.

POSiBLE National Camp
One of the 90 projects selected nationwide for the national bootcamp: five days of intensive training, finance and business mentoring, and a pitch in front of an audience on the last day. API Market ended up among the programme’s success stories.

Talent Land and the POSiBLE podcast
POSiBLE invited me to Talent Land as part of its founder community, and that same week we recorded the programme’s podcast at Televisa Santa Fe.

Speaker at the state camp
They asked me to tell the state finalists what the national camp is really like. I talked about the part nobody brags about: the problems I hit before API Market worked.
Projects
Things I have built.
Each one started as a problem of my own. All of them are still online.
API Market
Connect to Mexican government databases (INE, CURP, SAT, SEP, IMSS and INFONAVIT) and check your users’ records through the fastest API in the country.
Livewirestack
Interface components ready to drop into any TALL stack application: Tailwind, Alpine.js, Livewire and Laravel.
MailApi
A Laravel package that exposes email sending as a microservice and serves several clients without repeating configuration in every project.
Available for projects
Let's build something simple.
Tell me about the problem eating your time. I will take care of the boring part.
