What I bring

Product mindset with full-stack depth: Clerk auth, resilient HTTP clients, SSG/ISR rendering, Sentry observability, Playwright E2E, and CI/CD pipelines.

How I work

Clear planning, incremental delivery, and early feedback. I collaborate with design and business to build solutions that are useful, not just pretty.

AI as support

I use AI as a copilot to speed up research, validate approaches, and improve quality, always with critical review and technical responsibility.

Dear Hiring Team:

I’m applying because I enjoy building digital products that solve real needs. I bring visual judgment, technical focus, and commitment to results. I’m organized, communicate well, and stay focused on delivering value in every iteration.

In my recent projects I built complete solutions across different domains: e-commerce with Clerk auth and E2E-tested checkout, a live cultural community site delivered as a client commission, and an interaction-heavy job board. These experiences strengthened my ability to deliver tested, CI-backed code with clear architecture and reliable user flows.

Mini Ecommerce

Clerk auth, typed HTTP client, SSG/ISR catalog, Prisma + Postgres orders, Sentry error boundaries, Playwright checkout E2E in CI.

Saravá Espacio Cultural

Client commission: live Next.js site with JSON content, hero carousel, and static export to GitHub Pages.

Mini Job Board

Vanilla JS with search, multi-filter, saved jobs, and CI with schema validation.

AI Stories

Serverless story generator with client HTTP resilience, 402 handling, and local fallback stories.

Portfolio

Hand-coded bilingual site with i18n and responsive project case studies.

I’m ready to add value from day one with a continuous-improvement mindset. My workflow includes automated testing (Vitest, Testing Library, Playwright), CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and deploys on Vercel and GitHub Pages.

Sincerely,
Alejo Castillo González
