About
Isidro Zertucha

An engineer for products that need ownership, not just a contractor.

I'm a full stack engineer with a generalist view of software development. I've worked primarily on the frontend because that's what the products and teams I joined required, but I'm equally comfortable designing architecture, building services, deploying infrastructure, and making end-to-end technical decisions.

I graduated as an Automation Engineer from CUJAE (2018–2023). That training taught me to understand systems as a whole — analyzing constraints, identifying dependencies, and designing robust solutions. That approach still shapes the way I write software.

I take on two or three concurrent projects at most to keep focus and quality. I prioritize asynchronous communication, complement it with structured meetings when they add value, and document the important decisions as the project evolves. If you're looking for someone who can take charge of a problem from start to finish, we'll probably work well together.
