Founder

I founded SWRV Tech

SWRV Tech is the studio I founded and run, built around one idea: your website shouldn't sit outside your business, it should run on the same rails. We build websites, ecommerce, mobile apps, dashboards, and automation as one connected system — so the site your customers see and the operations you run stop being two separate jobs.

Based in Puerto Rico and serving clients across the US, SWRV Tech is where the bulk of the 150+ production sites in this portfolio were delivered. If you're looking for a team rather than a single engineer, that's the front door.

Process

How I work

A structured approach that keeps projects on track and clients informed at every stage.

Discovery & Scope

I ask the right questions first. Business goals, user flows, edge cases, and technical constraints get mapped before a single line is written. Ambiguity is expensive — clarity is free.

Architecture & Planning

Tech stack decisions, data models, component structure, and delivery milestones — documented before build starts. Clear architecture prevents the expensive pivots that kill timelines.

Build & Communicate

Sprint-paced delivery with async progress updates and working demos at every milestone. You always know what's done, what's next, and which decisions need your input.

QA & Performance Audit

Every launch goes through cross-browser QA, Core Web Vitals audits, accessibility checks, and load-time optimization. Production-grade means more than just working.

Launch & Iterate

Zero-downtime deployments with rollback safety nets. Post-launch retainer support available for teams that want a trusted developer on call.

Why Cord?

What makes this different

  • 150+ real-world sites shipped — not portfolio pieces, not tutorials
  • Deep specialization in regulated industries: cannabis, age-gated retail, high-stakes ecommerce
  • Full-stack ownership: I write the API, the database schema, and the pixel-perfect UI
  • I understand conversion, SEO, and business outcomes — not just the code that produces them
  • Direct communication, one point of contact, no offshore relay or agency markup
  • Every codebase is typed, documented, and ready for the next developer to maintain
