Curriculum vitae
Head of IT who ships product
I run technology, build the product and read the data. Over fifteen years taking platforms from concept to production, today with coding agents as the development engine.
Head of IT at BOPELUAL S.A. (Auto Club, Carros Ya!, GB Autos), leading digital transformation, information security and process automation. The role did not exist at the company: I identified the gap, made the case and stepped down from the marketing lead role to take it.
In parallel I run Ameizin, my independent practice: 22 WordPress sites under active maintenance and 14 applications in production, with databases, continuous deployment and sustained uptime.
I build end to end —architecture, data model, user experience and delivery— and the code is AI-generated under my direction using Claude Code, ChatGPT and Cursor. I do not write backend by hand; I specify it, direct it and answer for the result in production. It is the same method I have shipped with since 2010, only the tool changed.
These are not separate specialties: they feed each other. IT leadership defines what is needed, building delivers it, data says whether it worked, and R&D finds the next route.
Owning the technology function at a multi-brand vehicle financing group: information security, process automation, vendor management and AI adoption across daily operations.
From idea to deployed system. I define architecture and data model, design the experience in Figma and direct coding agents until the product is in production and maintained.
Data used to decide, not to file away. I model the information, unify scattered sources and build the reporting the business actually consults.
Honest scope: I work with data modelling, assisted SQL and custom dashboards. I do not claim certification or professional experience in Power BI, Tableau or enterprise data warehouses.
I explore tools before they become obvious, then teach others to use them. It is the habit that took me from game engines to no-code builders and from there to coding agents.
Five years of continuous engagement under a services contract, advising on and running technology and marketing for the company and its brands. The scope widened from marketing coordination to head of IT.
Agency-scale infrastructure operated by one person: 22 sites under maintenance and 14 applications in production.
Designed and delivered modular AI adoption programmes for non-technical teams.
Digital photography, communication and educational, inclusive video game development.
Institutional web governance, brand rollout and administrator training.
The university's server and WordPress infrastructure, plus social, campaigns and lead capture.
2D/3D animation, campaign concept and end-to-end development of an advergame for Créditos Económicos.
NoteThe BOPELUAL S.A. engagement is a services contract, not employment. The three titles are successive within that single relationship: an external contractor whose scope widened over five years, which is account retention rather than tenure.
A selection from a wider portfolio. All are or were in production with real users.
Inventory and operations ERP with a B2B portal for an import company, deployed and maintained in production.
Two services in production: the inventory engine and the wholesale customer portal. I defined the data model and the architecture and directed the build with coding agents. It is the project closest to running a retail business with warehousing and a wholesale channel.
Corporate site for an ISO 9001-certified private security company, from concept to production in three months.
Next.js with Turbopack and static export. I built in my own environment and deployed production to the client's hosting, then shut the development environment down. Deployment hygiene and cost control, not just delivery.
comprovig.com ↗Platform with separate public site, admin panel and API on PostgreSQL.
The project that best shows the deliverable is genuinely full-stack: three independent services plus a database, each with its own deployment cycle. The tier separation was an architectural decision taken up front, not an accident of growth.
In-house CRM that unifies leads arriving from Meta Ads and the website into a single base.
Previously leads lived scattered across the agency inbox, the site form and the sales team's spreadsheets. The system normalises them into a single model, with in-house email notification and traceability by source. Deployed on Railway from a private repository.
Payroll and HR system with automatic calculation of IESS employer obligations.
Payroll runs, employee records and leave and time-off requests for the HR department, with automatic generation of the bank TXT files for payroll disbursement. The hard part was not the software but modelling Ecuadorian labour regulation correctly; that is where business judgement matters more than code.
Banco de Machala's training ecosystem, with a React reporting dashboard on PostgreSQL.
An educational platform built on LearnDash with purpose-built security mechanisms, plus a dashboard that turns LMS activity into progress and compliance indicators. It is the clearest business intelligence case in the portfolio: the data existed, the reading was missing.
elbancoparacrecer.com ↗Site and learning platform for COOPI, on a UNICEF-funded programme.
WordPress with LearnDash for the Italian humanitarian NGO COOPI, which works in Ecuador on child and adolescent protection in human mobility contexts. Free, open courses on human mobility and the prevention of child abuse, aimed at caregivers. UNICEF is the programme's funding partner, not the client.
LMS for the Daule river basin protection programme, engaged through Universidad Casa Grande.
A programme funded by the European Union with just over a million dollars, implemented by a consortium of CIIFEN, Fondagua, the Municipality of Guayaquil and Universidad Casa Grande. The platform hosted free courses for local government officials and for the press. The Daule river supplies water to roughly 25% of the country.
Vehicle quoting system built entirely with coding agents, live and in use.
Three services in production. It is the most direct demonstration of the method: a complete product, from data model to interface, without writing the backend by hand. The repository is public.
ameiz.in/spc ↗Watch retail store with a purpose-built catalogue consolidation tool feeding WooCommerce.
The real problem was not the storefront but the catalogue: price lists in spreadsheets that had to be reconciled and loaded without breaking published inventory. I built the merge and export tool instead of doing it by hand every month.
A Yelp-style app connecting Miraflores neighbourhood businesses with the university community. Recognised as an innovative project.
Shipped natively on iOS, Android and Windows Phone. I defined the data model and built the no-code frontend in AppMachine, coordinated the team to populate the business catalogue and contracted an external developer for the service connecting the database to the app. Deployed on the university's own infrastructure, which I administered as webmaster, with authorisation from leadership. Twelve years on, it is the same method I use today.

I am currently engaged and not searching out of urgency, so I evaluate selectively. If there is a technology, product or data problem worth solving properly, get in touch.
