Summary

Product engineer in New York. Freelancing solo since 2013. Give me a real bug with the time to dig and I’ll ship the fix. 40 PRs merged upstream to Expo, Convex, Bun, shadcn/ui, and others, every one came from hitting a wall in my own apps and chasing it down.

Experience

Product Engineer · Independent

2013 to Present · Brooklyn, NY

• 40 PRs merged upstream across 10 repos: expo/expo (19), shadcn-ui/ui (5), get-convex/better-auth (5), better-auth (3), fumadocs (2), withastro/compiler-rs (2), plus bun, TanStack/db, napi-rs, and App-Store-Connect-CLI. 12 more open across 8 repos including 3 source fixes to facebook/hermes (object-accessor home object, class-in-finally var caching, armv7 CI), 2 in oven-sh/bun (CI YAML fix, peer-dep lockfile determinism), and the hermes-engine podspec in facebook/react-native.
• Build and maintain convex-revenuecat (7,600+ npm downloads, listed on the Convex Components Directory), tanstack-cn (CLI scaffolder, ~1,050 downloads), create-claude (1,640+ downloads), and 7 other shipped npm packages, 12,000+ downloads across all of them.
• Maintain ramonclaudio/patches (54 patches for Bun, npm, pnpm, and Yarn) so my apps and other users ship the fix while upstream PRs are in review.
• 10,600+ GitHub contributions since Dec 2023 across 52 public repos (380 stars earned).
• 2018 to 2021 at This Is Not Art: built and maintained a custom Shopify storefront (Liquid) with anti-bot protections (velocity detection, duplicate-order blocking, URL gating) years before Shopify shipped native mitigation. Built internal tools: AR sculpture preview app, Instagram head-tracking game, inventory management, custom event registration with timeslot booking.
• 2013 to 2017 at Software Automation Services: designed and operated automation and monitoring infrastructure for the e-commerce sector, with hands-on application security research and API reverse-engineering. Shipped Python and JavaScript tooling, Chrome extensions, and related web services.
