Jorge Luis Peña Real

Full Stack Developer

I build fast, accessible, and well-crafted web experiences.

About

Full Stack Developer with 5+ years of experience building enterprise-grade web applications for international companies. I specialize in crafting performant, accessible user interfaces with Next.js and React on the frontend, and robust RESTful APIs with Java and Spring Boot on the backend.

I'm passionate about clean architecture, SOLID principles, and developer experience. I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments and have a track record of integrating modern tooling — including AI-assisted development workflows — to ship quality software faster. I collaborate naturally with English-speaking teams across time zones.

Computer Engineering graduate from IPN/UPIICSA (2019–2024). When I'm not building production systems, I'm exploring the intersection of performance engineering and great user experience.
