About

Arturo
De La Garza

Been building for the web since 2007. I focus on shipping solid work. Built systems that scale, and make sure things actually work.

Throughout my career, I've mentored and coached 40+ engineers — helping them grow and level up is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Recently diving deep into AI-assisted development. Built AI-powered solutions including a hackathon-winning prompt library. Context is everything when working with AI tools.

When I'm not working, you'll find me deep in board game strategy, grinding video games, or reading finance and self-improvement books. Balance is everything.
