The Builder
Behind the Work

I'm Hector — a developer and product builder based in Florida. My background is in cybersecurity and systems architecture (BAS Cybersecurity, St. Petersburg College), and that foundation shapes everything I build: security-first, intentional, and built to hold up.

Today, my focus is on the intersection of design and native product execution — crafting iOS and web experiences that don't just function well but feel exactly right. I care about the details most people won't notice but everyone will feel.

I don't believe in "good enough." Every project gets the same level of attention — thoughtful architecture, clean code, and an experience that feels native and effortless from the first interaction.

Precision Over Everything
Clean architecture, intentional design decisions, and code that holds up under pressure. I build things the right way, not just the fast way.
Design-Led Thinking
Strong technical background paired with a genuine eye for design. I think in systems, execute in interfaces, and ship things that feel considered.
Security-First Foundation
BAS Cybersecurity from St. Petersburg College. That background isn't a footnote — it's baked into how I think about architecture, data flow, and every system I touch.

Expertise &
Capabilities

From concept to shipped product — I cover the full stack of what it takes to build something that actually stands out.

01
UI / UX Design
Interfaces that feel as good as they look. I design systems with intention — from component structure to micro-interaction detail.
Figma Prototyping Design Systems Interaction Design User Research
02
Frontend Development
Production-quality code. Clean, performant, accessible. I build frontends that are as solid under the hood as they are visually sharp.
React TypeScript Swift / SwiftUI Next.js Tailwind
03
App & Product Design
From zero to shipped. I think about product holistically — architecture, flow, UX, brand, and technical execution as one unified effort.

04
Strategy & Creative Direction
Thinking before building. I help define what to make, why it matters, and how to position it — so the execution has real direction behind it.

What I'm
Focused On

Right now, I'm deep in the build on PulseArt — an iOS sports experience that uses Apple's Live Activities and real-time data to bring the feel of live sports to your lock screen and Dynamic Island.

It's a personal project and a proving ground — combining everything I care about: sharp iOS design, real-time data architecture, and an experience that feels native to Apple's platform from the ground up.

Documenting the progress, thinking, and builds as they happen.

The Process

Every project follows a disciplined approach. No skipping steps, no cutting corners — just clear, intentional execution from start to finish.

01
Discover
Understanding the problem before touching the solution. Deep research, user thinking, and getting completely clear on what actually matters.
02
Plan
Architecture first. Defining structure, scope, and key decisions before a single line of design or code is written.
03
Design
Intentional visual design grounded in the product's goals. Systems over one-offs. Every detail serves the experience.
04
Build
Clean, production-quality code that matches the design with precision. Performant, accessible, and built to scale.
05
Refine
Shipping is the beginning. Continuous testing, iterating, and tightening until everything is exactly right.
