Escobar Rivas
Full-Stack Engineer — Django, React, Next.js
I build web applications with Django, React, Next.js, and Laravel. From e-commerce platforms and banking campaigns to content sites and internal tools — I work across the full stack, from database modeling to frontend architecture.
Experience in Production Systems
4+ years building web applications with Django, React, Next.js, Laravel, and PostgreSQL. I've worked across B2C platforms, banking campaigns, content sites, and internal tools — at agencies, as a freelancer, and with enterprise clients. I focus on writing clean, maintainable code that actually ships.

Approach to Engineering
I work across the full stack — Django, React, Next.js, Laravel, PostgreSQL. Whether migrating a legacy codebase, optimizing database queries for high traffic, or building a reusable UI component library from scratch, I focus on code that is maintainable, performant, and actually ships.
