Engineering systems that scale.
I'm Damián Garcés — a Senior Backend & Full Stack Developer with over 16 years in software development: 10+ years of deep backend expertise plus 4 years of frontend integration with React, Next.js and Vue.js, building scalable, high-performance systems for the telecom and fintech industries.
My core is C#, .NET, Azure, microservices and clean architecture, with full-stack reach into React, Next.js and Vue. I've architected platforms that improved backend efficiency by 70% and cut operational costs by 40%, while leading the migration from monoliths to microservices.
As a technical team lead I mentor engineers and drive architecture decisions that align technology with business goals. Currently based in Bogotá, Colombia and open to ambitious work.
What I can build for you.
