About Darwin

Engineer by trade.
Problem solver
by nature.

I’m Darwin Mateos, a software engineer with 18+ years of experience and a deep focus on WordPress, PHP, and modern JavaScript.

I’ve worked across healthcare, tourism, real estate, nonprofits, and e-commerce. I enjoy the whole process: understanding the problem, shaping the solution, and making sure it works in the real world.

I collaborate with distributed teams in English and Spanish, bring care to code reviews, and use AI tools to support thoughtful engineering.
