Manuel Rodriguez

Full Stack Engineer - Principal Consultant

About Me.

My name is Manuel Rodriguez, I'm a Senior Software Engineer with more than 16 years of experience, living in Cordoba city, Argentina.

I currently work as a Principal Consultant at Modus Create, a digital engineering consultancy, building web, mobile, and hybrid applications for clients across entertainment, industrial, fintech, and defense sectors.

I've spent my career across the full stack — web, mobile, and backend — and I'm well accustomed to working with distributed teams across different time zones. I'm responsible, proactive, tenacious, and a fast learner, always committed to delivering results.

Lately I've been deep in AI-assisted development, experimenting with and integrating tools like Claude, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex into my day-to-day workflow to speed up development, testing, and code quality.

I love programming and learning about new technologies all the time.

Working as a Principal Consultant at Modus Create, a digital engineering consultancy, delivering full stack, mobile, and modernization projects for a range of clients.

Alamo Drafthouse (2025 - 2026)

Leading the incremental modernization of a legacy AngularJS web application to React, using a strangler-fig approach: the existing AngularJS app stays in production while all new features ship in React. Reused the same React codebase to migrate the company's native iOS and Android apps via Ionic Portals and Capacitor, extending new features simultaneously across web (AngularJS + React) and mobile (iOS + Android). Defined testing strategy and development guidelines to manage a single codebase spanning four runtime targets. Introduced AI-assisted practices into the workflow using GitHub Copilot, Codex, and Claude Code.

Tech: React, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, Sass/SCSS, Ionic, Capacitor, Ionic Portals, React Router, TanStack Query, Axios, Vite, Cypress, Vitest, AngularJS modernization, hybrid mobile architecture.

Raven Solutions

Developed a suite of mobile apps deployed across U.S. military bases worldwide, built on a shared Capacitor core with per-base configuration for content visibility, sections, and deployment settings, integrating with multiple CMS platforms.
