I help SaaS companies, agencies, and government teams deliver complex technical projects on time — without the chaos. 15 years across Fortune 100 (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) and US government digital transformation (Granicus). At HPE I ran a multi-billion-dollar global portfolio across 150+ countries and cut deployment timelines by 20%. At Granicus I led public-sector digitization that changed how citizens reach essential services. On UpWork: 22+ projects · 5,000+ hours · 100% Job Success. I now operate as SOTO⟂DEV — a doctrine-driven technical practice for businesses that have outgrown chaos. Most automation and software breaks within a year because it was built to demo, not to last. I work the opposite way: documentation-first, maintainable by your team, designed to outlive the technology it runs on. What I deliver – End-to-end project management (discovery → UAT → rollout) for SaaS and public-sector engagements – Custom software & web apps — SaaS products, internal tooling, operational dashboards – Automation architecture (n8n, Make, custom) with runbooks your team can actually maintain – AI-assisted workflows (OpenAI, Anthropic) wired into your real CRM, not a toy demo – Chatwoot deployments — multi-inbox, multi-agent, white-label-ready – CRM optimization, SaaS operations, agile/sprint planning, cross-functional coordination – Fractional technical operator engagements for founders and ops leaders who need a steady hand How I work – Written scope before any code. Written handoff after. – Every system ships with a runbook, a recovery procedure, and a change log. – Stakeholder communication tuned for both engineering teams and executive audiences. – I optimize for the third year of the system, not the first week. Who I am Bilingual EN/ES, based in San José, Costa Rica (GMT-6). Available for US and EU time zones. Operating under a written doctrine — clients see it on day one, because the same standards that govern my code govern the engagement. If you need a senior operator who's done this at Fortune 100 and government scale, won't disappear on you, and ships systems built to last — let's talk.
