Hey, I'm Ale!
I'm a software developer from Colombia currently between Spain and Germany, working full-time at FastAPI Cloud.
I love building things, from legos to software, along with art in all its forms, and exploring the world.
Selected Work
Things I've built and contributed to lately.
FastAPI Cloud
Been here since day one. Mostly focused on the dashboard frontend, but I've worked on a bit of everything, including E2E testing with Playwright, backend, CI/CD, CLI improvements, docs, UX research, and maintaining the landing page (including migrating it from Framer to Astro).
Full-Stack FastAPI Template
As part of the FastAPI team, I contribute regularly to the template, including frontend, backend, and CI/CD improvements. I've led multiple migrations, including moving the template from Vue to React, introducing shadcn/ui with Tailwind, and switching package management from npm to Bun.
Palim
Palim is a side project I'm building for myself and some friends to keep track of our favorite media, including books, movies, and TV shows, all centralized in one place. It's built with React + TypeScript and FastAPI. Currently, it only works by invitation. It's still a work in progress, but I'm really happy with how it's turning out so far!
Through My Lens
I like to capture life as it happens. I shoot film but also enjoy digital photography. Here are some photos from my collection.
"Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees."
