Raúl Bustamante
Independent Full-Stack & AI Engineer
# raul.webp — 2024
I run an independent engineering practice. EverMade — the Helsinki digital agency where I spent 6+ years as a core developer — still sends me projects regularly, now as an independent contractor.
the team that knows my work best keeps coming back for more
A big part of my days this past year has gone to Plyox: sole engineer on a fitness coaching platform — mobile app for athletes, web portal for coaches, Node backend on Firebase, LLM features with usage budgets and limits — owning everything from architecture and backend to UI, integrations, testing and deployment.
I'm taking on new work: apps, AI integrations and web platforms that need someone who ships.
50+ projects delivered through EverMade, 2018 → today — developer on all of them, lead on many, DevOps on several
… and 30+ more truncated — ask me about any of them
