Building learning tools, web platforms, and local communities in the Bay Area.

I'm Gabriel — educator, developer, and founder. I run Fases Academy, build Pakfy (shipping logistics dashboard), and organize local meetups. I love simple, performant web apps you can trust and ship fast.

About

Based in San Jose, California, I work across education, web development, and logistics. I build simple products with real‑world utility: tutoring systems, dashboards, and tools that help people learn and ship things efficiently. I value clarity over hype, small wins over big promises, and communities that meet in person.
