Shipped, not prototyped

Devbloom's productized service for Colombian brands that already sell through Instagram and WhatsApp: a Shopify store live in 5 business days with the date in writing, at a fixed price from COP 2.5M. The catalog is loaded from a PDF, Canva, Excel or Instagram; checkout takes card and PSE plus Nequi (Wompi) or Bre-B (Bold). The landing includes an AI estimator built on Claude to quote custom features, protected by Cloudflare Turnstile and Upstash Redis rate limits, with leads sent through Resend from Vercel functions.

02Stack

Tools I actually ship with

Ten years of building production software across the stack. I don't just know these — I've shipped, scaled, and debugged them at 2am.

The list below is what I reach for first. If it's not here, I'll still figure it out — but these are the ones that pay the bills.

04Background

A decade of shipping

I started in web agencies, spent years on enterprise platforms, and now run a small studio focused on production AI. Same approach throughout: build what works, measure it, ship it.
