Understand the system before changing it
I first trace how the application, its data, and its users are connected. That helps me make changes in the right place instead of treating only the visible symptom.

How I work
These are the habits I bring to professional work and personal projects.
Work within real constraints
I balance product needs with existing code, framework limitations, security requirements, and delivery timelines. A useful solution has to work in the environment the team actually has.
Build for reliability
I think about bad input, race conditions, failed integrations, and recovery while I build. Reliability is part of the work, not something to add after the feature is finished.
Leave software easier to maintain
I look for clear responsibilities, reusable dependencies, simpler migration paths, and automation that removes repetitive work. The next change should be easier than the last one.
Follow the work through delivery
I stay involved through implementation, testing, debugging, release checks, and maintenance. I want to know that the change works outside my local environment.
Work directly with the people involved
I clarify requirements with technical and business stakeholders, coordinate verification with QA, and explain decisions in terms each group can use.
Role fit and direction
Where I fit
I am looking for full-stack or backend-oriented work. Internal tools, web platforms, application modernization, and migration projects are a particularly good match for my experience.
What I bring
I have worked with enterprise Java, Python migration tools, web platforms, and production reliability issues. My personal projects add FastAPI, REST APIs, authentication, and data persistence.
Where I want to grow
I want more responsibility for the services and data behind a product. I also want to deepen my cloud and backend framework experience.
Selected projects
Local multi-agent editorial pipeline
Pressroom
A pressroom is where a journalist's brief becomes the printed word. Here nine AI agents do the same work, turning source material into a publication-ready article.
A nine-agent LangGraph pipeline that outlines, writes, reviews, humanizes, and publishes MDX with rendered charts and diagrams. Every model runs locally through Ollama.

- Ollama

Local multi-agent equity analysis
Equilyze
Equity plus analyze. Point it at any publicly traded company and it produces a rigorous, multi-model investment report powered entirely by local AI.
A pipeline that runs six valuation models across three scenarios, then chains six AI agents to add context, research news, and write a structured report — fully offline.
- Python
- LangChain
- Ollama
- yfinance
Resilient Python monitoring service
MLScraper
A bargain that sold out within five minutes started a habit of checking for deals and, eventually, a price tracker that was almost too good at finding them.
A FastAPI and asyncio service that runs each provider independently. It keeps product history, reports its health, and sends Telegram alerts when a tracked price changes.
- FastAPI
- Python
- Telegram
Solo distributed full-stack system
Sin Pluma
An academic assignment became the project that introduced me to software architecture, then placed second among 40 projects even though I built it alone.
A React and Flask writing platform with REST APIs, access and refresh tokens, Redis-backed logout, MinIO storage, Docker networking, and a three-node MySQL cluster.

Python domain and decision-support application
Equity Valuation Engine
Years of conservative investing led me to build a more disciplined way to study companies as I expand my portfolio, with assumptions and uncertainty kept visible.
A Python tool that separates data loading, normalized metrics, model checks, calculations, scenarios, and CLI or JSON output.

- yfinance
Static publishing and build system
albertoduran.com
I started this site after a layoff gave me a reason to show more than a résumé or short interview could hold. It grew into a static-first portfolio and publishing platform.
An Astro and TypeScript site with typed content, manifest-driven publishing, generated routes, build-time diagrams and charts, and a small runtime layer.
