Hi, I'm
Jose Duran.
I build fast, clean, and scalable web experiences from polished frontends to production-ready backends.
Building things that matter
I'm a software engineer with a passion for creating intuitive, performant web applications. I enjoy working across the full stack from designing clean UIs to architecting backend systems and cloud infrastructure.
Performance First
I write code that's fast by default — optimized bundles, minimal re-renders, efficient queries.
Pragmatic Solutions
I focus on what ships — clean, maintainable code that solves real problems without over-engineering.
Cloud Fluent
Experienced deploying and scaling on AWS, GCP, and Azure — from containers to serverless.
Technologies I work with

AI Chat App
A fast AI chat application built with Bun, Groq, and vanilla JavaScript. Supports multi-turn conversations, theme switching, and server-side API key protection.

Search and save news articles from around the web by keyword. Integrates a live news API with user authentication and saved article persistence.
What to Wear
A full-stack app that recommends clothing based on your local weather. Built with React, JavaScript, and a live weather API with user profiles and wardrobe management.
Spots
A social media web application for sharing photos and locations. Built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from a Figma design brief.
