Digital Craftsman (Developer/Designer/Creator)
I'm an full-stack developer and content creator building my version of the digital world one step at a time. All coding projects are built from the ground up, from planning and designing all the way to solving real-life problems with code. All post content is built the same way, from ideation and planning, all the way to finalizing the content with artistic touches. I publish that content on my LinkedIn profile "castrogusttavo" to more than 5k followers.
I'm a Developer Experience Engineer at code.dev, where I build tools, workflows, and interfaces that reduce friction and help developers move faster — with performance, clarity, and simplicity in mind.
My core expertise is in front-end development using Next.js and NestJS, but I also have hands-on experience across the stack. I've worked on distributed systems with microservice orchestration, Docker-based environments, asynchronous processing with RabbitMQ, and background workers.
I’m comfortable implementing caching strategies (Cache Aside), real-time communication using WebSockets, automated tests with Jest and Cypress, and CI/CD pipelines for fast, reliable delivery. I build APIs with a strong focus on scalability, maintainability, and developer-friendly design.
I believe good architecture should empower developers — not slow them down. That’s why I'm focused on continuously improving Developer Experience at every level of the stack.
