Who you’re working with

Orlando has spent his career on the parts of software where failure is visible: government portals serving entire cities, biometric boarding systems at airports, and observability platforms that production teams depend on at 3 a.m. He leads every Codemyc engagement personally — architecture first, then code, then proof that it works.

Owns the craft of

  • Software architecture
  • Full-stack web (Node.js · TypeScript · React)
  • Mobile (Flutter · Firebase)
  • Cloud & DevOps (GCP · AWS · Docker · CI/CD)
  • Observability (OpenTelemetry · Grafana stack)
  • AI-native engineering (agentic coding · RAG · MCP · multi-agent orchestration)

Proof of work

Shipped, in production

State institutional websites

Critical government web platforms where uptime, accessibility, and search quality are legally non-negotiable.

  • Drupal 10
  • PHP 8
  • Solr
  • Docker
  • GitLab CI
  • Python
  • Backend development and search optimization (Apache Solr, Elasticsearch) on high-traffic Drupal 10 portals.

  • Automated regression suites with Python, Pytest, Playwright, and Selenium.

ECPASS — biometric airport boarding

Technical lead for a mobile app automating airport check-in and boarding with biometric data.

  • Flutter
  • Firebase
  • ML SDK (Java)
  • Codemagic
  • Architected the app with clean architecture and led the Flutter team end to end.
  • Integrated a machine-learning SDK for biometrics and ran the release pipeline (Codemagic, Crashlytics).

Production observability platform

Took full ownership of telemetry for an IBM i integration company; the tooling now runs in production across multiple client environments and is cited by sales in closed deals.

  • Node.js
  • TypeScript
  • OpenTelemetry
  • Grafana
  • Docker Swarm
  • Rebuilt instrumentation on the OpenTelemetry SDK as an installable, versioned package.
  • Delivered log–trace correlation and per-client Grafana dashboards with alerting (Tempo, Loki, Prometheus).

GeneXus web low-code IDE

Frontend lead on the web IDE of one of Latin America’s best-known software platforms.

  • TypeScript
  • StencilJS
  • Node.js
  • Jest

What it’s like to work with Orlando

“Orlando answers fast and says the uncomfortable thing early — if a deadline is at risk or a spec doesn’t hold up, you hear it in the first conversation, not the retro. He tests across environments before anything ships, writes code the whole team can read, and has a habit of quietly absorbing the unglamorous work (weekend deploys, legacy systems, mid-project spec changes) that keeps projects on track.”
