Senior Fullstack Engineer with 7+ years of experience building production systems in TypeScript, Node.js (NestJS), React/Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and AWS. Currently at Globant, embedded with a US edtech client, and previously at Galileo Financial Technologies (fintech), where I worked on secure, high-reliability platforms including OAuth 2.0 flows and real-time event-driven architectures (WebSockets, Kafka).

Over the past year I've focused on AI-native engineering: building LLM-powered and multi-agent applications with Python (FastAPI, LangGraph) and using AI-assisted, spec-driven workflows in day-to-day development. I also hold an ISO 27001:2022 Internal Auditor certification, so I bring a strong security and compliance mindset to the products I build.

I'm looking for a remote Senior Fullstack or AI Engineer role (contract or full-time, USD) with a US or global team, ideally on products that put AI into production. Based in Ecuador (UTC-5), with full overlap with US time zones.
