Full StackDeveloper.

Hi, I'm Nicolas Gonzalez. Full-stack engineer with 6+ years building and modernizing web platforms end to end with React, Node, TypeScript and AWS. I've rebuilt legacy systems from scratch and led projects from design system to backend, and I bring AI into my workflow to ship fast without cutting corners.

  1. 01

    Legacy system migration

    The system that works but nobody dares to touch: I move it to a modern stack in stages, without stopping operations, and redesign the business logic where it changed, not just the paint. At Home City Ice I migrated 5 applications and led 3 end to end.

  2. 02

    Frontend & design systems

    React and Next.js interfaces that scale without drifting: reusable, accessible components plus the design system that keeps them consistent. That's how I built Securitize's.

  3. 03

    Backend & APIs

    APIs and BFF layers in NestJS + PostgreSQL that bridge your new frontend to what you already run, even a central .NET API, without a full rewrite.

  4. 04

    AI-assisted development

    AI as a first review before every change, for large refactors, tests and documentation, plus multi-agent workflows for research-heavy work. It accelerates; the judgment is mine.

Featured projects

Home City Ice · 2024 — present

Plant operations platform, built from scratch

The largest project in the company's history. As the primary full-stack developer I replaced the legacy plant operations platform: routing, scheduling, dispatch, inventory, compliance, a Kanban board and mobile workflows. I also migrated 4 other applications, each with its own BFF layer.

Securitize · 2023 — 2024

Design system and web platform

I migrated the legacy design system (Material UI) to a new one built with Tailwind and a reusable component library. On that base I built the new public site in Next.js with Builder.io as a headless CMS, so content ships without engineering, and the internal site in React.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Nico on the largest 0-to-1 build in company history. Replacing the legacy plant operations platform was a project that touched routing, scheduling, dispatch, inventory, compliance enforcement, an intuitive drag-and-drop Kanban workflow, and mobile workflows across a distributed user base. Nico quickly became the primary full-stack developer and the technical backbone of that delivery.

Nico wasn't only a front-end developer; he understands how the full stack connects, and integrated APIs & back-end logic with ease, which made him valuable in a complex platform environment. What set Nico apart wasn't simply his skill set, it was his ownership mentality.

Working with him, I felt confident committing to timelines. I knew that anything I handed him would come back done, correct, and often better than what I asked for, without check-ins. Nico is proactive with providing unprompted updates on his work, or issues he found. I know he wanted to win as much as I did. When he hit roadblocks, he found solutions. When I gave him a direction, he ran with it. He was frequently faster to execute on a feature than it would have taken to get a design spec written.

He consistently over-delivered on output, offered multiple solution paths during feature discussions and sprint planning, mentored other developers toward better approaches, and helped me become a better PM in understanding various technical concepts. Without Nico, we would not have accomplished what we set out to build as a team.

He is the kind of engineer every PM dreams of working with: fast, precise, collaborative, and accountable when it matters most. He makes everyone around him better, not by talking about it, but by being consistent in his delivery and work ethic every single day. Any team would be fortunate to have him. I'd work with Nico again without hesitation.

About me

I work from San Juan, Argentina, on remote product teams in the US and Latin America.

I have good overlap with US hours (UTC−3). I care about code that can be maintained: clean architecture, SOLID and DDD, with tests and code review. I work with AI every day for first-pass review, refactors and multi-agent workflows, and I review every result. I'm a Claude Certified Architect by Anthropic.
