Hi, I'm Efrain —
a Full-Stack Software Engineer

For more than ten years I've turned complex, high-stakes requirements into software people can rely on. I'm a senior engineer and architect who leads teams with clarity, designs systems that stay fast and dependable as they grow, and genuinely enjoys the hard problems others step around — across healthcare, legal-tech and e-commerce. My aim is always the same: build things that ship, scale, and hold up under real-world use.
