SELECTED IMPACT
Real systems, real responsibility. A few highlights from 14+ years of hands-on engineering.
WordPress sites. One source of truth.
LARAVEL / CONTENT SYNDICATION
I built a Laravel platform that distributes real-time content updates to 300+ WordPress sites, eliminating manual site-by-site deployments. A reusable custom theme, content blocks, and plugins helped a small team deliver and maintain the network consistently.
Lower infrastructure costs.
99.9% uptime maintainedCLOUD / DELIVERY / OPERATIONS
I led the migration of 300+ sites to DigitalOcean and improved Docker and GitHub Actions delivery workflows, reducing infrastructure costs by 30% while maintaining 99.9% uptime.
Public-facing nonprofit experiences.
AMERICAN RED CROSS / PHP & LARAVEL
I developed and maintained several Laravel and PHP websites for the American Red Cross, delivering accessible public-facing experiences within enterprise brand and governance requirements.
Commerce that stays in sync.
WOOCOMMERCE / ERP / CRM
I created WooCommerce integration layers that synchronize ERP and CRM data and live inventory for global brands, eliminating manual catalog reconciliation.
Experience drawn from my professional resume.
The details behind the work, all in one place.
BEYOND THE BROWSER
I build the architecture that keeps a great experience working long after launch.
MARKETPLACES & PRODUCTS
I architected and built MVP.DesignStudio.com, a Laravel marketplace and portfolio platform for freelancers, with professional profiles, digital products, role-based access, and project workflows.
QUALITY & TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP
PHPUnit and Pest testing, code reviews, CI/CD, production monitoring, and mentoring junior and mid-level developers. AI-assisted development with human review, testing, and validation.
EARLY FOUNDATIONS
Custom PHP and MySQL applications, WordPress themes and plugins, an auction platform with proxy bidding, and community and member websites for Eco Tek Solutions and CSEA 471.
MY TOOLKIT

Successive promotions at DesignStudio Network.
Still hands-on. Still building.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m Juan, a software architect and hands-on developer with 14+ years of experience bringing web applications, APIs, and multi-tenant platforms to life.
At DesignStudio Network, I grew from web developer to software architect. Today I connect the dots between discovery, design, code, infrastructure, and production support.
My work spans national nonprofits, including the American Red Cross, and enterprise brands. I care about the details: accessibility, performance, reliable tests, and helping the people around me build better.
