Available for new opportunities

Thoughtful software,
engineered end to end.

I'm Miguel Angel Garcia, a Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI-driven development and LLM integrations. I architect, build, and ship robust, highly maintainable products—collaborating closely with designers to perfect the user experience, and empowering the teams that make them happen.

Have a question? Ask my AI assistant below anything about my work.

My AI assistant answers questions like these from what I've documented. It needs JavaScript to run — with it off, the answers are in the sections below, or you can ask me directly.

What project are you most proud of?
Tell me about your leadership experience.
What is your experience with Laravel?

AI answers from my own notes and may be imperfect. It won't invent experience — if something isn't documented, it says so.

About me

I care how it's built, and how it feels.

“Stay hungry, stay foolish.” — Steve Jobs

My career has evolved from building websites to architecting complex web applications and leading the teams behind them. I partner closely with designers, engineers, and stakeholders to transform abstract ideas into scalable, production-ready products.

Where I focus

Technical Depth: Architecture, maintainability, accessibility (a11y), and steady, predictable delivery.
Product & Design: Keeping a sharp eye on interface design and intuitive user experience.
Team & Culture: Cultivating healthy collaboration, efficient decision-making, and high-quality shipping standards.
Technical Leadership: Empowering engineering teams through clear architectural guardrails, peer code reviews, and knowledge sharing.

Modern workflows & AI integration

AI is a core part of my daily engineering toolkit. I leverage tools like Claude Code and build directly on the Anthropic and OpenAI APIs to rapidly move through research, prototyping, and implementation.

Crucially, I hold AI-assisted code to the exact same rigorous review, security, and testing standards as any other code. My two most recent applications, QCP Staffing / Minute and Appointment Hub, are live proof of this high-velocity, high-quality approach.

What's next

I am seeking a Senior/Lead Full-Stack Engineering or Tech Lead role that bridges hands-on system architecture, technical leadership, and product strategy.
