Jorge Ramírez Serrato
Senior Software Engineer transforming ideas into reality
Intro
I'm a software engineer and lifelong programming enthusiast with over a decade of experience turning ideas into scalable and maintainable systems from front to back. I have worked across the full stack, starting out in .NET and now specializing in modern Node.js and TypeScript. My recent focus has been working on developer-facing tools and integrations, but I enjoy working on any domain where there is an interesting challenge to tackle. I love collaboration and I thrive in tight-knit teams focusing on solving problems for end-users.
