José Chaparro I build production software, and the infrastructure it runs on.

React and Next.js on the front, Python and .NET behind it, PostgreSQL and AWS underneath. I designed the production platform at Moneta Market and run client products through my studio, Bifrost Code.

What I've built

Most of this is employer or client work, so the code is private. I'm glad to walk through any of it on a call.

Grab-and-go cooler vision

In progress

An unattended retail cooler has to know which products each customer takes, with no cashier.

  • Two-stage detection and classification running on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, optimized with TensorRT FP16.
  • Multi-object tracking at 60 fps, with automatic camera recalibration through SIFT homography.
  • The evaluation harness (leave-one-day-out validation, pre-registered thresholds) that set the production frame-rate and image-format requirements.

FisioApp

In production

Physiotherapy clinics need one place for patient records, appointments, treatment packages and payments, with each clinic's data kept apart.

  • Multi-tenant Next.js application on PostgreSQL covering clinical records, scheduling, packages and payments.
  • Audited against WCAG 2.1 AA.
  • Self-hosted on the studio's own infrastructure behind Cloudflare Tunnels, with automated off-site backups to Backblaze B2.

Feriu

In production

Multi-tenant, self-hosted shared-expense platform with a Splitwise-style settlement engine, built as a NestJS + Next.js pnpm monorepo on PostgreSQL.

Karaoke Balu

In production

Real-time karaoke request platform for live events: an SSE-synced queue, admin panel, self-serve kiosk mode and Virtual DJ integration. Express + React monorepo.

Where I've worked

August 2025 — Present

Moneta Market LLC

Full Stack Engineer

Designed and built the company's production platform (six services on AWS, the database behind it and an on-device vision pipeline) and led the team's two interns after the lead developer left.

  • Replaced manual deployments with the company's first containerized platform: six services on AWS EC2 (two FastAPI microservices, Label Studio, MLflow, Nginx) brought up reproducibly with Docker Compose.
  • Built an on-device computer-vision pipeline on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano that identifies the products a customer takes from a retail cooler, plus the evaluation harness that set its production requirements.
  • Designed the PostgreSQL schema the operation runs on: 25 tables on AWS RDS with 24 foreign keys, 34 indexes, idempotent migrations and a soft-delete audit trail, reachable only through an SSH bastion.

  • Built an event-driven FastAPI webhook service between Label Studio and S3 that keeps the two consistent when a step fails: atomic rollback across database and S3, async connection pooling, a cache with database fallback. Wrote the runbooks to operate it.
  • Moved the frame-review desktop app off Windows-only WPF to cross-platform C# (.NET 10, Avalonia): MVVM, two-pass verification and a sliding-window prefetch cache.
  • Locked down access with least-privilege IAM, AWS Secrets Manager and LocalStack, so development never touches production credentials; set up the CI pipelines.
  • Built the data pipeline's operator tooling (CLIs, idempotent S3-to-PostgreSQL sync, drift audits) and automated model training in GitLab CI on ephemeral AWS GPU instances, tracked in MLflow.

Bifrost Code

Side project, alongside my full-time role

Co-founder & Full Stack Engineer

Co-founded a studio that designs, builds and hosts web products for clients; three of them run in production today.

  • Shipped three products that still run for real clients: FisioApp (multi-tenant clinic management, audited against WCAG 2.1 AA), Feriu (multi-tenant shared expenses) and Karaoke Balu (real-time requests over SSE, kiosk mode).
  • Deliver end to end on TypeScript pnpm monorepos: React and Next.js front ends, NestJS and Express APIs, PostgreSQL. Earlier projects shipped on React Native, FastAPI and Django.
  • Host every client app on the studio's own infrastructure as a low-cost alternative to Vercel or AWS: Proxmox and Ubuntu Server, Dokploy and Docker Compose with health checks, Cloudflare Tunnels with no inbound ports open.

Grupo Roga

.NET Software Developer

Kept the ERP of a retail group with 170+ branches running and growing, and designed new modules for it from scratch.

  • Extended the ERP running 170+ branches and used by 1,750+ employees (Mueblería El Pasito, Villarreal Muebles, Dinexpress) across point of sale, multi-branch inventory, pricing and accounts receivable, in .NET Framework.
  • Designed and built from scratch the module that manages field agents visiting customer homes for credit approval, with DevExpress maps plotting assignments and data from a companion Android app.
  • Designed the SQL Server layer behind multi-branch operations (stored procedures for inventory aggregation and pricing, and HTML report emails composed with Chilkat), replacing manual report compilation.
