Hector Torrez
Full-Stack Software Engineer · React, TypeScript, Node.js
I ship product features end to end: React and TypeScript on the frontend, and Node.js APIs on the backend. Three years across ERP, logistics, e-commerce, and SaaS.
I lead frontend architecture for ERP and logistics platforms at JDK Tech, with Next.js and TanStack. On my own projects I own the whole stack: NestJS, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare, and AWS.
