About

I'm Agustin Nieto Garcia (@nietoga)—a full stack developer focused on systems that hold up in the real world.

I help teams move from fragile manual workflows to dependable systems: clearer handoffs, calmer operations, and faster paths from idea to production—without selling you a stack you do not need.

Who I fit best with

Teams stuck between legacy systems and new expectations: manual reporting, brittle integrations, slow releases, noisy incidents, or unclear metrics. If the problem is operational and technical at the same time, we will likely speak the same language.

Signals we're a fit
  • Manual processes that keep growing
  • Legacy systems blocking new outcomes
  • Poor scalability or rising operational cost
  • Fragmented tools and unclear ownership
Problems I gravitate toward
  • Automations that need to survive people going on vacation
  • Custom features that must fit an existing platform and timeline
  • Operational support when production feels opaque or reactive
  • Observability when “we have logs” is not enough
  • Measurement and SEO engineering when the business depends on trustworthy numbers
Outcomes I optimize for
  • Faster operations
  • Better customer experience
  • Automation your team trusts
  • Less rework and firefighting
  • Scalability without losing maintainability
Where I'm strongest
  • Practical delivery: small milestones, visible progress, honest tradeoffs
  • Integrations across messy vendors, APIs, and legacy constraints
  • Performance and reliability work grounded in evidence
  • AI-ready foundations: safe pilots, clear boundaries, maintainable workflows
  • Embedded senior capacity when you need an extra hand on the roadmap
How I communicate

Short written updates, demos on a predictable cadence, and early escalation when assumptions change. [TBD] preferred channels for async.

Projects I usually avoid
  • Greenfield without access to stakeholders or production signals
  • [TBD]
  • [TBD]
How engagements typically run

01

Discovery call

Goals, constraints, access, and what “done” means for the business.

02

Technical assessment

Focused review of integrations, data, deployment, and operational reality.

03

Proposal and plan

Scope, milestones, communication cadence, and what we prove first.

04

Build and iterate

Small PRs, weekly demos, staging validation, tight feedback loops.

05

Launch and handover

Runbooks, monitoring hooks, rollback thinking, clear ownership.

06

Optional support

Retainers or office hours for operations and the next bets.
