JulioAmestica/README.md

Hi, I'm Julio Améstica

Senior .NET engineer from Chile, focused on enterprise APIs, integrations, automation, and applied AI. I turn unclear technical ideas into working systems that real teams can maintain.

I am currently exploring OpenAI Codex as a practical coding partner for software delivery: scoping tasks, implementing features, reviewing changes, improving tests, and documenting repeatable workflows.

What I build

  • Enterprise backends and integrations with C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server and Azure.
  • Applied AI workflows: RAG, agent-assisted development, local models, automation and evaluation loops.
  • Full-stack prototypes with React, TypeScript, Next.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL and Docker.
  • Developer workflows that combine human judgment with AI tools instead of treating AI as magic.

Codex and AI-assisted engineering

My main interest is not just generating code faster. It is learning how to use Codex responsibly in real software projects:

  • breaking ambiguous work into verifiable tasks;
  • keeping architecture simple enough to maintain;
  • using tests, logs and reviews to validate AI-generated changes;
  • documenting workflows so other developers can repeat them;
  • sharing practical examples with the Chilean and LatAm developer community.

Selected public work

Project What it shows Stack
pocia-count Browser prototype for counting people and cars from a mobile camera feed. Built as a public Codex experiment. React, TypeScript, TensorFlow.js, COCO-SSD
musicvideo Spotify playlist browser with YouTube search integration. Next.js, TypeScript, NextAuth, Spotify API
specboot Portable rules and development standards for AI-assisted software projects. It is in WIP AI coding workflows, project standards

Product work

I am also building Las Cuentas Claras, a Chile-focused app for splitting and managing shared expenses in groups, trips, couples, families, and roommates.

The repository is private, but the project reflects the kind of work I enjoy: take a real everyday problem, design a simple product experience, connect web and mobile clients, and iterate with users instead of just building a technical demo.

Current scope includes:

  • React/Vite web app deployed on Netlify;
  • React Native mobile app in Android closed beta;
  • Supabase backend with PostgreSQL, authentication, and serverless functions;
  • payment and premium-flow experiments for a freemium model;
  • product work around activation, retention and conversion.

You can find the live product at Las Cuentas Claras

Current direction

I am moving deeper into Applied AI Engineering: combining my background in enterprise .NET systems with AI-assisted development, automation, RAG and product delivery. I also completed a diploma program in Generative AI and Language Models from CENIA, which helped me connect LLM concepts with practical software engineering decisions: architecture, evaluation, automation, privacy, and responsible use.

A good example of the work I want to keep sharing publicly is:

  1. choose a real engineering problem;
  2. build a small but functional solution;
  3. use Codex where it helps;
  4. verify the result with tests or manual checks;
  5. document the workflow clearly for other builders.

Tech I work with

C# · .NET · ASP.NET Core · Azure · SQL Server · PostgreSQL · React · TypeScript · Next.js · Python · Docker · Supabase · n8n · OpenAI · Codex · RAG · Local AI

Community and content

I am interested in helping more developers in Chile and LatAm use AI coding tools with better engineering practices: clear scope, version control, testing, reviews, security and maintainability.

Topics I like to share and discuss:

  • practical Codex workflows for existing codebases;
  • AI-assisted development without losing code ownership;
  • .NET + AI for business applications;
  • automation and integrations for small teams;
  • lessons from building public prototypes.
