Pablo Contreras · Architect · Lima, Peru · Remote LATAM/US
ArchitectI design and ship distributed systems: Vue/Nuxt microfrontend + 8+ Django microservices on AWS. Every architectural decision is documented and tested in fintech production.
Real pattern shipped in LATAM fintech products: microfrontend (Vue/Nuxt) + API gateway + Django microservices + async queue + observability.

Architecture and tech leadership roles first (Destacame, Dibal).
No experiences match these filters.

Projects with explicit architectural decisions and a documented stack.
Fintech B2C platform that helps Chilean users negotiate and settle debts with financial institutions.
Fintech product offering tiered personal credit to users in Mexico.
This very portfolio: an Astro 6 monorepo with 5 independent sites deployed to Cloudflare Pages, optimized for GEO/LLM-SEO.
Public template I use as reference for new projects: .claude/ structure with skills, rules, hooks, devtools CLI, conformance and testing.
VS Code extension that visualizes and documents a project structure in seconds, optimized for AI workflows.
No projects match these filters.
Chilean users lacked a clear channel to regularize debts and financial institutions were losing significant collections. Sensitive data (PII) + LATAM financial compliance.
As Frontend Architect I orchestrated Django microservices with Vue/Nuxt frontend: eligibility → offer → payment. PII handling with encryption in transit and at rest. Bureau integrations + KYC verification.
Measurable improvement in collection operational efficiency and end-user experience. Platform still in production serving the Chilean market (detailed metrics under NDA).
Mexican market required accessible personal credit with fast onboarding. Local regulatory constraints + KYC friction + credit bureau integrations.
Tiered-credit product + embedded scoring + low-friction approval flow. Vue/Nuxt frontend + Django microservices + Mexican credit bureau integrations. Documented architecture decisions for successors.
Key contribution to Destacame LATAM fintech portfolio in the Mexican market. Pattern reuse from the Chilean product with local regulatory adaptation (metrics under NDA).
Before Claude Code (May 2025) I used the Claude web interface to code. Sharing project context meant copy-pasting file by file manually.
I built FastStruct as a TypeScript VS Code extension: single command that scans the workspace, honors .gitignore, formats structured markdown and copies to clipboard. Configurable exclusion patterns.
5x faster personal workflow when instructing AIs. Published in the Marketplace, still useful even now with Claude Code for cases where I need compact context for sub-agents or external summaries.
