Hi, I'm Warao 👋 
I'm a product-focused frontend / full-stack engineer with 10+ years of experience building and shipping user-facing applications. I work close to the product, own problems end-to-end, and enjoy turning complex systems into clear, intuitive, high-leverage experiences.
I care deeply about UX, system clarity, and reducing friction—between frontend ↔ backend, product ↔ engineering, and users ↔ complex technology. While frontend is my core strength, I regularly step outside strict role boundaries when it helps the team move faster or build better abstractions.
🔭 Currently
- Building a B2B SaaS ticketing platform (validating product-market fit in Venezuela)
- Experimenting with AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, MCP protocols, CodeRabbit)
- Open to full-stack or frontend engineering roles (remote/hybrid)
What I Work On
Frontend & Product: Building user-facing applications with focus on UX, clarity, and accessibility
Full-stack Integration: Complex systems spanning frontend ↔ backend ↔ Web3/blockchain
Recent Work
Elys Network
I helped take the product from idea to mainnet, scaling to: 2M+ users, $7M TVL, $55M+ trading volume.
I initially led frontend and product initiatives, then stepped deeper into the backend when gaps appeared. To unblock progress, I ramped up on Rust and Go, identified avoidable system complexity, and helped remove a CosmWasm proxy layer that was increasing coupling and slowing development.
Impact:
- Clearer system boundaries
- Lower maintenance overhead
- Faster iteration
- Better cross-team collaboration and onboarding for new hires

🔧 Open Source Contributions
I contribute to open source when it helps solve real production problems—whether that's debugging tricky issues, improving documentation, or collaborating with maintainers.

How I Like to Work
- Product first — user needs, clarity, and reliability come before abstractions
- Ownership — comfortable being accountable for the final user-facing result
- Collaboration — close work with design, backend, and stakeholders
- Adaptability — learn new tools quickly when the problem requires it
- Pragmatism — simple solutions beat clever ones
Outside of Code
I enjoy working on early-stage products, improving onboarding flows, and helping teams move faster with less friction. I'm especially drawn to roles where engineering, product, and real users intersect.
Beyond product work, I love exploring new technologies, whether it's building mining rigs, tinkering with hardware setups, or experimenting with new frameworks and tools. Staying hands-on with tech keeps me curious and constantly learning.
📬 Let's Connect
I'm currently open to full-stack or frontend engineering roles (remote or open to relocate).
