20 years designing and shipping software for companies in the US and Latin America. I help teams integrate LLMs, autonomous agents and modern architectures with Next.js and React — from idea to production.
Diego Giraldo
Santa Marta, Colombia
Hands-on consulting, with code. Not slides.
I integrate models like Claude and GPT into your products: assistants, agents that execute tasks, process automation, RAG over your data and MCP servers that connect AI to your systems.
I modernize legacy React stacks to the Next.js App Router, design component systems from Figma and optimize performance for platforms serving millions of users.
From idea to production in weeks: frontend, backend, database, payments and integrations. I've launched my own startups, so I know what matters when the clock is ticking.
Technical direction for startups and growing teams: architecture decisions, mentoring, technical interviews, code review and AI-assisted development processes.
Working remotely with US companies since 2008.

Before writing code I understand what moves the needle. I've founded companies: I think about revenue, not just features.
I use coding agents and LLMs in my daily workflow. What used to take weeks, I now validate in days.
Solid architecture, typing, testing and performance. Code your team can maintain afterwards.
I leave your team ready to keep building with AI. Documentation, mentoring and processes.
Tell me what you want to build. I reply within 24 hours.
