Full Stack & AI Engineer

Gabriel
Ortolaza

Full-stack engineer with 15+ years shipping modern web apps, APIs, and AI-powered platforms — from e-commerce storefronts to secure enterprise systems.

About

Fifteen years building products where the stack, the data, and the business logic all have to hold.

I’m Gabriel — a full-stack engineer based in the United States. I build modern web applications, backend systems, and API-driven platforms with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue, Angular, Node.js, Python, and databases such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL.

I’ve shipped work that needs secure transactions, authentication, data integrity, and complex business logic — e-commerce, healthcare, financial solutions, and enterprise apps. That includes REST APIs, backend services, and integrations with third-party and distributed systems.

Recently I’ve been building AI-powered features and security-conscious architectures: LLM integrations, semantic search, recommendations, and systems where access control and data consistency matter. I take products from interface to API to cloud (AWS, Supabase) and focus on clean, maintainable code that solves a real business problem.

My services

Engagements shaped around what you need to ship next.

  • 01

    Full stack product development

    End-to-end web apps — React, Next.js, Angular, and Vue on the front; Node.js, Python, PHP/Laravel, and Java/Spring Boot on the back — with auth, APIs, and databases designed to scale.

  • 02

    Shopify & E-commerce storefronts

    Product listing, search, recommendations, checkout, and reservation flows. Shopify, Magento, Big-commerce, WooCommerce, and other e-commerce platforms. Algolia, GraphQL, analytics, and A/B testing wired in so the storefront actually converts.

  • 03

    AI integration & automation

    OpenAI, LangChain, semantic search, personalized recommendations, and AI-assisted workflows that cut manual work and make product surfaces smarter.

  • 04

    Secure platforms & APIs

    REST and GraphQL services, Stripe/PayPal billing, Row-Level Security, and integrations for healthcare, finance, and other data-sensitive environments.

  • 05

    Performance & growth engineering

    SEO, Core Web Vitals, analytics instrumentation, accessibility, and iterative UX — so the product stays fast, measurable, and maintainable after launch.
