Why I'm open to anywhere

Three years on the canada.ca search platform, three languages, two passports — and an aversion to ruling cities out before the role fits.

I was born in Cancún, México on a January morning in 2003 and moved to Canada in 2013. Two passports - Canadian and Spanish - three languages, no real attachment to a single skyline. Which is to say: I'm not filtering my next role by city.

What three years of government work taught me

Government work taught me to ship cleanly the first time. WCAG-compliant HTML, accessibility audits, peer code review on every PR, Azure DevOps pipelines that don't tolerate flakiness.

After three years on the canada.ca search platform — Search Technical Analyst, Principal Publisher / Search team — that discipline is permanent. The .NET / C# / Blazor work on display in my project section is self-taught, built on nights and weekends as production-quality side work. What I'm looking for now is a role where both halves count.

What I want next

A smaller team, a faster product loop, more of the frontend stack I've been sharpening on the side — Angular, React, the things I build in personal projects like Crittr (Blazor WASM + ASP.NET Core, currently adding LLM-powered features) and the SignalR + OpenAI work I did for Swipe & Decide Cards at JacHacks 2025.

Specifically:

  • Full Stack or .NET-leaning role — strongest in C# / .NET 8, but always growing on the JS / TS side (Angular, React, Next.js).
  • Permanent, fixed-term contract, or contract-to-hire — open to all.
  • Remote, hybrid, or on-site.

Where

Anywhere the role fits. Some places land more naturally — bilingual or trilingual cities like Montréal, Madrid, Mexico City, Barcelona, Toronto, etc. If your team is in Halifax or Helsinki and the work is right, I'll move.

If that sounds like your team, say hi. I read every email.
