Hi, I’m Edgar.

I’m from the Colombian Caribbean — Córdoba, near Montería. I study Software Engineering at Universidad de Cartagena (8th semester, member of the Software Engineering Research Group). I’m a Caribbean dev and half my day’s conversations happen in costeño Spanish, not neutral Spanish.

I’ve been doing software professionally for over 4 years. I started as front-end at Real Vision Enterprise and grew into full-stack while building things for very different clients. In 2024 I joined Orienta as Full-Stack Developer and, in parallel, Peta Consulting from Chile on larger-scale projects — that combination forced me to learn how to move between the voice of a small team and that of a big one.

What I care about most at work is being close to product decisions that matter — not just writing clean code for something nobody will use.

How I work

I prefer fewer things, done better. Software quality depends above all on decision quality — what to build, what not to build, and when to stop. Speed matters, but reaching the wrong place faster isn’t speed: it’s waste.

I obsess over details. I review every piece of microcopy, every spacing, every animation. People notice even when they can’t say why.

I care more about people than technologies. Tools change every three years; good teams stay with you a whole career.

What I’m learning right now

Swift 6 and macOS internals, while I build CleanMyOwn. Serious testing against real services (no lying mocks). And writing better — I rewrote this very section more times than I’d like to admit.

Outside work

Salsa, black coffee, sea when I can. No X/Twitter. I don’t miss it either.
