David Garcia
FULLSTACK DEV
I build products end to end — NestJS services, React interfaces, and the event-driven cloud plumbing between them — because hard problems are my favorite form of play
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm David — a software engineer from Medellín, Colombia, and a Software Engineering graduate. I'm a full-stack engineer at Upshop, building event-driven Azure integrations and multi-tenant APIs, after six months as a backend developer at Pragma migrating serverless AWS services.
I care about the whole path — domain models, contracts, database design, and the invisible glue that binds it all together. To me, software is more than solving problems — it's a way to play, to explore, and to build the improbable.
When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me sculpting, composing music, gaming, or breaking down complex ideas just for the joy of understanding them.

Recreations
Interactive landing and hero studies I rebuilt from written prompts and existing Figma designs. The original designs aren't mine — the build is.

Always happy to talk about distributed systems, product engineering, or an interesting side project — based in Medellín, working remotely.
