José Chaparro - Full Stack Engineer

About Me

Full Stack Engineer with 2+ years of production experience building backend-heavy systems in Python and .NET, deploying cloud infrastructure on AWS, and developing cross-platform applications.

Currently at Moneta Market, where I own the microservices architecture: a 6-container production platform integrating ML pipelines, event-driven webhooks, and a C# desktop app. I also work as an independent contractor building full-stack systems with React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL.

Full Stack Engineer

Moneta Market LLC

  • Architected the company's first containerized platform: 6-service Docker Compose stack (2 FastAPI microservices, Label Studio, MLflow, Nginx reverse proxy) deployed on AWS EC2 with private networking and automated health checks
  • Designed a 25-table PostgreSQL schema on AWS RDS with 24 foreign keys, 34 strategic indexes, a custom idempotent migration system, and soft-delete audit trail; accessed via SSH tunnel through EC2 bastion host
  • Built an event-driven FastAPI webhook service integrating Label Studio with S3: Repository pattern, atomic DB/S3 rollback on failure, async connection pooling, and in-memory cache with DB fallback
  • Developed a cross-platform C# desktop app (.NET 10, Avalonia, migrated from Windows-only WPF) for human review of ML-labeled video frames: MVVM architecture, two-pass verification workflow, and sliding-window prefetch cache
  • Implemented least-privilege IAM policies and AWS Secrets Manager for credential management; used LocalStack for local S3 emulation without exposing production credentials
  • Built the data pipeline's operator tooling (CLIs, idempotent S3-PostgreSQL sync, drift audits) and automated model training via GitLab CI on ephemeral AWS GPU instances with MLflow tracking; prototyped edge inference on NVIDIA Jetson (YOLO on TensorRT)

Full Stack Engineer & Co-founder

Bifrost Code — Independent Software Studio

  • Deliver full-stack web apps end-to-end with React, Next.js, NestJS, and Express on TypeScript pnpm monorepos with PostgreSQL; earlier delivered projects shipped with React Native, FastAPI, and Django
  • Production projects for real clients: FisioApp (multi-tenant clinic management, WCAG 2.1 AA audited), Feriu (multi-tenant shared-expense platform), and Karaoke Balu (real-time karaoke request platform with SSE and kiosk mode)
  • Self-host client applications on the studio's own infrastructure — a Proxmox VM running Ubuntu Server with Dokploy and Docker Compose; DNS through Cloudflare and services exposed securely via Cloudflare Tunnels (no open ports), a low-cost alternative to Vercel or AWS

.NET Software Developer

Grupo Roga

  • Maintained and extended the internal ERP used across 170+ branches and 1,750+ employees (Mueblería El Pasito / Villarreal Muebles / Dinexpress); built modules for multi-branch inventory, pricing, accounts receivable, and POS in .NET Framework
  • Designed SQL Server database architecture supporting multi-branch retail operations: stored procedures for inventory aggregation and pricing logic, automated reports and email delivery via SQL Server Agent
  • Standardized security practices across the development lifecycle: password manager for credential handling, physical security keys, and formalized coding processes
