01About

Professional profile

I'm Ariel Eitner, a full stack developer with more than 6 years building scalable web applications in the TypeScript ecosystem —Next.js, React, NestJS, Prisma— and in PHP/Laravel, with Python for automation, scraping and data analysis.

I currently lead development of a multi-country edtech platform: dockerized microservices, international payment gateways, language-model integration, technical SEO, E2E testing and CI/CD on GitHub Actions.

My original training in electronics shaped how I approach software: explicit boundaries between components, traceable state, and a hard look at the cost of maintenance a few years out.

I work remotely with teams across Argentina, LATAM and the United States, both in full-time positions and on project contracts.

02Approach

How I work

Six areas where I concentrate the technical decisions that keep a product running in production.

  • 01

    Architecture and typed contracts

    Clear separation of concerns across layers and services, with shared TypeScript contracts verified at compile time. Microservices communicating over gRPC on protobuf schemas, with versioned contract libraries shared between backend and frontend.

  • 02

    Payment gateway integration

    Stripe, Mercado Pago, PayPal and Rebill on a multi-country checkout. Idempotent webhook processing, order-state reconciliation, retry policies and full transaction traceability in an in-house gateway.

  • 03

    Technical SEO

    Dynamic sitemaps, JSON-LD structured data (schema.org), URL migrations with 301 redirects, Core Web Vitals optimisation and automated Lighthouse audits driven by Puppeteer, tracked in Google Search Console.

  • 04

    Language-model integration

    Anthropic Claude and OpenAI APIs applied to product features: data extraction and analysis over legal documents, streaming writing assistance and conversational agents with persisted context.

  • 05

    Automated testing

    Playwright for E2E checkout and form flows, Vitest and Jest over domain logic, Cypress and PHPUnit depending on the stack. Static analysis and technical-debt control with SonarQube.

  • 06

    CI/CD and infrastructure

    GitHub Actions with separate development and production environments, Docker containers for production parity, orchestration with Docker Compose and Kubernetes, scheduled jobs on Vercel Crons and versioned SQL migrations.

06Tech map

The 15 areas of web development, and where I stand in each

A serious web application isn't «frontend and backend». It's the intersection of fifteen disciplines that overlap constantly. I built an interactive map of all of them and the technologies I use in each.

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask before we start working together.

  • What technologies does Ariel Eitner use?

    I work mainly with Next.js, React and TypeScript on the frontend, and NestJS, Node.js and Laravel on the backend. Databases in PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB with Prisma ORM, infrastructure on Docker, Kubernetes, Vercel and Cloudflare, and Python for automation, scraping and data analysis.

  • Do you work remotely?

    Yes. I work fully remote from Buenos Aires, Argentina, with teams in Argentina, LATAM and the United States, on hours that overlap with American time zones. I'm open to both full-time positions and project contracts.

  • What kind of projects do you take on?

    Web platforms with a real backend: multi-country ecommerce and checkout, content portals with demanding SEO, SaaS products with language-model integration, APIs and microservice architectures. Also migrations and audits of performance, security and technical SEO on systems already in production.

  • How much experience do you have?

    More than 6 years of professional development. I currently lead a multi-country edtech platform with over 125 pages and 145 API routes in production, after three years freelancing and a stint at an AI startup.
