Juan Manuel González Santos's profile picture

About

Full stack engineer who started as an intern in 2023 and now works as a freelancer and technology partner, the only engineer responsible for the technology of a product platform: I design, build, deploy and operate web and mobile apps, real-time systems and the infrastructure behind them (Linux, Docker, networking, VPNs), from idea to production. Completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence (University of Alicante) on top of a BSc in Multimedia Engineering. I bring end-to-end ownership and the ability to ship, plus a solid foundation in neural networks and deep learning, and I'm looking to bring AI into real products.

Doña Rosa

2023 - 2025

Full Stack & VR Software Developer

Built, deployed and supported an end-to-end VR platform for cognitive therapy with elderly users, as the company's only in-house engineer after the initial phase.
  • Led the full migration of the application from Unreal Engine to standard web technologies (WebXR, A-Frame, JavaScript), sharply cutting operating costs and removing third-party dependencies.
  • Built a real-time remote control system with WebSockets to orchestrate multiple VR headsets simultaneously from a phone.
  • Integrated Stripe (payments and subscriptions) and Mux (high-quality video streaming).
  • Deployed and administered VPS and Linux servers with Docker and Dokploy, including domains, certificates and routing.
  • Set up and maintained the network and client machines, and handled incident support.
  • Initial phase (internship): built a VR game in Unreal Engine where users find, by moving their head, objects named through audio, with performance metrics stored in a database.
