Hi, I'm Jose Andres Garcia, a Senior Full-Stack Developer and DevOps Engineer with 13+ years of experience designing, integrating, and scaling SaaS platforms, enterprise systems, and eCommerce solutions. I bridge backend engineering (Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails, C#, and more) with modern frontend development (React, Next.js, Angular, TailwindCSS) and cloud/DevOps practices (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Heroku). I've led technical escalations, SaaS integrations, and core banking migrations, combining hands-on coding with architecture design and cloud infrastructure automation. Across SaaS startups, consulting, and the financial sector, I've delivered scalable, cloud-native solutions that improve reliability, performance, and customer experience. I am passionate about mentoring engineers, improving deployment pipelines, and delivering features that users love.
