Software Engineer

Hi, I’m Aldrin Salazar.

I build software that makes complicated workflows easier to manage.

I’m a software engineer with around 8 years of experience, mostly working with TypeScript, Node.js, Vue, PostgreSQL, and AWS.

A lot of my work has been focused on the backend: building APIs, integrations, event-driven systems, document generation, and internal tools. I’ve spent a good part of my career in fintech, where reliability, accuracy, and the small details are fundamental.

What I enjoy most is taking a process that’s slow, repetitive, or unnecessarily complicated and figuring out how software can make it better. Sometimes that means designing a new service. Sometimes it means cleaning up an existing system. And sometimes it’s just removing a few annoying steps from someone’s day.

I’m currently looking for software engineering roles where I can stay close to the product, solve useful problems, and work with people who care about building things well.
