One developer.
The whole stack.

No handoffs, no account managers, no agency markup. You talk to the person writing the code — and it ships in weeks, not quarters.

AI integrations

RAG over your documents, AI agents, chat that knows your business, clinical-note generation — wired into your product, not bolted on. If the model needs your data to be useful, this is the work.

Automations

Bots and pipelines that do the boring work: WhatsApp and Telegram bots, social publishing, data reconciliation, report generation. If your team does it weekly by hand, it can probably run itself.

Web apps

Next.js front to back — multilingual, SEO-tuned, statically fast, with server-side analytics that feed your ad algorithms real conversions. Headless CMS when your team needs to edit content themselves.

Mobile apps

Flutter apps that ship to both stores from one codebase. Offline-first for markets where connectivity isn't a given, OCR, payments, and AI features that work on-device and off.

SaaS platforms

Multi-tenant from day one: per-tenant data isolation, auth, roles, admin dashboards. The architecture decisions that are expensive to retrofit, made correctly at the start — and the booking-style invariants that have to hold in the database rather than the UI.

3D & motion

Brand identity that moves — logo animation, looping hero visuals, and social kits built in Blender. The finishing layer that makes a product feel expensive.

// by problem

Already know the problem?

Three of these come up often enough to have their own page — what the work involves, and the project that proves it.

// how I work

Three steps. No ceremony.

The overhead you're used to from agencies is the thing I removed.

01

Scope

You describe the problem in plain language. Within days you get a concrete plan: what gets built, what it costs, when it ships. No discovery-phase invoices.

02

Build

Short cycles, working software every week. You see progress in your hands, not in status decks. Changes are conversations, not change orders.

03

Ship

Production deployment, monitoring, and a handover you actually understand. I stay available after launch — the point is software that keeps working.

// working together

Two ways to engage.

Most common

Fixed-scope project

A defined build with a defined price and a defined ship date. Best when you know the problem — an app, an integration, an automation — and want certainty on cost and timeline.

Scope my project
Ongoing

Retainer

A block of dedicated hours each month for evolving products — new features, AI improvements, maintenance, and priority response. Best after a first project ships and keeps growing.

Ask about retainers

Pricing is scoped per project — describe what you're building and you'll get a concrete quote, not a rate card. Not sure what you need? Ask the site — it knows what Pedro has built before.

// questions

Before you ask

How much does it cost to hire a full-stack and AI developer in the Dominican Republic?

It depends on scope, and any number quoted before understanding the problem is guesswork. What you get is a fixed price for a defined build, agreed before work starts — no hourly meter, no surprise invoice. Describe what you are building and you will get a concrete figure, usually within a day.

How long does an AI integration project take?

A focused integration — a bot grounded in your documents, an automation that removes a weekly manual job — is typically two to six weeks. A full platform with multiple user roles and billing takes longer. The timeline goes in the quote alongside the price, so both are fixed before anyone starts.

What is the difference between hiring a solo senior engineer and an agency?

With an agency you get a sales contact, a project manager, and whoever is free that sprint. Here you get the senior engineer who writes the code, from the first call to the deploy — no handoffs, no account manager relaying your requirements to someone you never meet. The trade-off is honest: a large agency can staff five people on a deadline and one engineer cannot.

Do you work with clients outside Santiago and the Dominican Republic?

Yes. Work happens in Santiago and Santo Domingo in person, and remotely for clients elsewhere — including the United States, where most remote work comes from. Time zones overlap with US business hours, which is usually what actually matters.

Can you build in both English and Spanish?

Yes, and not as a translation layer bolted on at the end. This site runs in both, and the real estate platform in the portfolio serves four languages with the routing and SEO built for it from the start. Doing multilingual properly after launch costs far more than doing it from day one.

What happens after the project ships — do you offer support?

Every fixed-scope project includes a support window after launch for anything that breaks. Beyond that, a monthly retainer covers new features, AI improvements and priority response for products that keep evolving. Plenty of projects need nothing after handover, and that is a fine outcome too.

Who owns the code and IP when the project is done?

You do. On final payment you get the source, the repos, the credentials, and full ownership of the code — no lock-in, no 'we host it so we own it' fine print. The only exception is any third-party license already in the stack. The exact IP terms go in the scope before any work starts.

How does deployment and handover work?

I ship to production and hand over a build you can run without me: the repo, environment variables, deployment config, and a short walkthrough of how it deploys and where the important knobs live. Most projects deploy to your cloud account from day one, so it's yours the whole time — not mine.

What does it cost to run a WhatsApp AI bot per month?

It depends on volume — the LLM API cost scales with how many messages the bot actually handles, not with a flat subscription. As a real data point, the Social Command Center bot runs at about $15–20 a month all in, server included. Your number lands wherever your message volume lands, and the quote you get scopes it from the start.

Can you work on an existing codebase?

Yes. I start with an audit of what is already there — what works, what is quietly broken, and what is worth keeping — and then work incrementally so the running system keeps running while it improves. The C21 Perdomo site was rebuilt on top of a legacy WordPress catalog, and it is live and ranking today.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes — it is standard practice, and I am happy to sign one before you share anything sensitive. Send yours over, or ask and I will provide one. Either way, the details of your project stay between us.

What's the minimum project size?

Fixed-scope projects start at the published starting price — see the pricing note on the services page — and most land above that depending on scope. Small, well-defined tasks can be handled by the hour. Either way, you get a concrete number before any work starts.
