Gabriel Marín

Lead Full-Stack Developer

I create immersive digital experiences, with flawless designs that stand out for their quality, make a difference, and deliver tangible results.

About Me

In 2014, my first approach to programming was creating a chat for my school friends, where we shared memes, organized activities, and decided where to meet up for games. I was fascinated by the immediacy of communication, and that was when I discovered my passion for programming.

Later on, one of my first professional challenges was working at Black Space Tattoo Supply, where I had the opportunity to develop an eCommerce site at a time when this technology was not very common. I implemented WooCommerce and, without prior knowledge of available templates, designed and customized one from scratch. This allowed me to learn a lot and overcome a significant challenge.

Today, I specialize in creating products that benefit both users and product owners, always striving to stand out through quality and the implementation of agile methodologies. I am passionate about the balance between design and development, ensuring that what I build not only looks great but also works flawlessly.

Outside of work, I am someone who enjoys learning and socializing. Reading and my gym routine keep me focused and disciplined—values I apply to both my personal and professional life, always striving to create the highest-quality products.

Web Developer · Black Lips Tattoo Supply

Led the development of a fully functional online store from scratch using Shopify, playing a key role in the project's success. I developed the template from scratch using Liquid, HTML, SCSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, and customized Shopify’s API to manage inventory and orders by integrating it with an external company system. Additionally, I integrated Meta Pixel and Google Analytics for effective performance tracking and key buyer event monitoring. Secured the site by implementing SSL and HSTS, and managed the integration of payment gateways like PayPal, Shopify Payments, and Tilopay.
