I am passionate about software development...it’s not just my career, it’s my hobby. I have more than 18 years of experience. I'm based in Costa Rica, Central America; one of the most educated countries in the whole of Latin America. I'm constantly striving to learn new things and improve. I DO follow industry news, regularly tinker with new technologies, and read books and blogs to keep my skills current. - I work well alone or within a team environment and enjoy working with my colleagues. - I always use GitHub to keep track of my code and push commits daily - I am fluent in English and Spanish and I'm learning German as a third language, I always write documentation for the code I write and comments. Please, feel free to contact me and let's discuss further details of your projects.

Hi I'm Rob and I help founders and product teams turn messy AI/SaaS ideas into clear, usable prototypes fast enough to validate, pitch, build, or hand off to developers. I’m not just here to make screens look better. I usually work with founders who need someone practical: someone who can understand the product, simplify the flow, design the UX/UI, think through edge cases, and create something that can actually move the project forward. My work usually fits when you need help with: - AI/SaaS product prototypes - MVP UX/UI and product flows - Figma designs that are ready for developers - Product redesigns for existing platforms - Founder-led product iteration - UX cleanup for complex workflows - Design systems and scalable product UI - AI-assisted prototyping workflows using tools like Claude, Cursor Codex, Lovable, Figma, and Figma Agent and Figma Make Past and current work includes AI-powered apps, content automation platforms, SaaS dashboards, marketplace flows, and founder-led product builds. For example, I’ve worked on products like Orcaru, an AI/content automation platform, and Nuvro, an AI-powered nutrition app, helping translate early product ideas and requirements into clearer UX, usable product flows, and execution-ready designs. I’m especially useful if you already have an idea, rough product, internal tool, or early MVP, but need someone to bring structure, speed, and product thinking to the next version. If you need a practical product/design partner who can help you move from idea to prototype and then clearer product direction, I can help.

Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 11+ years of experience building production-grade web and mobile applications. My core stack covers TypeScript, React, React Native (Expo), Next.js, Vue.js, Node.js, .NET/C#, PostgreSQL, and AWS. I've delivered across a wide range of projects: a multi-provider auth system on AWS Cognito with Apple, Google, and Facebook identity linking; a React Native fintech app with biometric auth and real-time data sync; complex SOAP/REST API integrations on .NET backends with EF Core; and a Web3 platform with dual wallet flows using wagmi v2 and OnchainKit. Beyond writing code, I take ownership of architecture decisions, API design, and CI/CD setup — contributing at every layer of the stack. I work best with async teams that value technical clarity and independent execution. If you need someone who can take a feature from spec to production without hand-holding, let's talk.

Most products don’t have a growth problem. They have a systems problem. Growth becomes unpredictable when acquisition, product experience, and monetization are disconnected. I build systems that fix that by aligning: 🎯 How you acquire users 🎯 What they experience inside the product 🎯 How that value turns into revenue and retention So growth stops being random and starts becoming engineered and repeatable. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐬: 🎯 Defined commercial viability across 25+ early-stage startups through GTM execution. 🎯 Increased course completion by 60% by redesigning product UX and behavioral loops 🎯 Reduced churn by 45% by improving retention systems and user motivation architecture 🎯 Made $5k in profit from UX research while validating my own product across 6 countries with $150 in ad spend 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐨: I’ve worked across the full product lifecycle: from discovering demand, to scaling engagement, to fixing growth leakage, to strengthening business systems. That means: ⚙️ Aligning market positioning, product experience, and business model to reinforce each other. ⚙️ Diagnosing where growth is breaking down ⚙️ Designing revenue and retention systems ⚙️ Improving positioning and acquisition ⚙️ Building engagement loops and behavioral systems ⚙️ Leverage agentic AI to enhance workflows 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 & 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: 🛠 Tools I Use: Figma • Miro • Notion • ClickUp • Replit • Lovable • Claude Code • WordPress • Airtable • Make 📚 Frameworks I Apply: Octalysis Framework • Gamification Design • Hooked Model • Design Thinking • Hero’s Journey • Inbound Marketing 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐞: ✔️ I diagnose structural problems, not just surface symptoms ✔️ I connect market positioning, product experience, and business model into one system ✔️ I combine systems thinking with hands-on execution ✔️ Gamification and behavioral design specialist with documented results ✔️ Battle-tested across 25+ real products under real constraints 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫: If your product isn't converting, retaining, or growing the way it should, the problem is almost always structural. I identify where the system is breaking and redesign it so growth becomes predictable. Let's talk.

SaaS start ups are losing money when... Customers paid but access didn’t update, or the subscription were supposed to be renewed but the system didn’t react... EVEN when a cancellation happened but the user kept access... Let's be honest... your company is losing money and you are getting a headache. Let’s turn that stress into success! I help SaaS teams make sure that every payment process reliably triggers what should happen next: subscriptions, access, users, and billing state without manual fixes or late-night debugging. So you can stop losing money and hair. What this fixes for you: • Late night debugging • Payment system stay in sync • You can focus on what matters: Scaling Typical situation I’m brought into: Stripe is “working,” but: • Webhooks fail silently • Subscription state desyncs from your app • Edge cases pile up as revenue grows The team doesn’t trust the billing flow anymore What changes after: Payment → subscription → access becomes a single, reliable flow Your team stops patching issues manually Revenue operations become predictable instead of fragile How I usually help: • Stabilize Stripe & System Payments • Fix broken post-payment logic • Make access and billing state deterministic If payment reliability matters to your SaaS, we should talk, just send me: The one billing issue you can’t afford to ignore.
