Personal website for Alberto Arana — a static, bilingual (EN/ES) site with a dark/light terminal-IDE aesthetic. Live at aarana.dev.
Hi, I'm Alberto Arana — a Principal Software Engineer. I design and ship scalable systems, from frontend platforms to high-performance backends, with a bias for clarity and calm precision.
I enjoy the unglamorous parts of engineering: drawing clean boundaries, removing accidental complexity, and leaving a codebase calmer than I found it. I work remotely and in both English and Spanish.
- Scalable architecture — turning fuzzy requirements into systems that stay simple as they grow.
- Frontend platforms — React & Next.js (SSR/RSC), design systems, and microfrontends that let teams ship independently.
- High-performance backends — Node.js services, REST/GraphQL APIs, and the performance/observability work that keeps them healthy.
- Type safety end to end — strict TypeScript, expressive types, and contracts that catch mistakes before runtime.
- Developer experience — tooling, conventions, and docs that make the right thing the easy thing.
- Clarity over cleverness — code is read far more than it's written; I optimize for the reader.
- Small, reversible steps — ship in thin slices, keep the build green, learn quickly.
- Accessibility and performance are features, not afterthoughts — this very site targets 100/100 on both.
- Calm precision — measured decisions, honest trade-offs, and no drama in the pipeline.
