About

A bit about me, my background, and what I work with.

Based in the US/Senior Software Engineer

I'm Eduardo Gaytan, a senior software engineer with a focus on building web applications that are fast, accessible, and well-crafted. I've spent the last 8+ years working across the full stack, from designing frontend architectures to deploying scalable backend services.

Currently at Apptegy, I lead the development of a Vue.js platform that connects schools, parents, and students across the US. Before that, I worked at Accenture building applications for healthcare and financial institutions, and at Scotiabank shipping consumer-facing products.

I care deeply about clean code, thoughtful design, and shipping things that matter. Outside of work, I write about development practices and experiment with new technologies.
