I'm Enrique

Senior Full-Stack Developer

Next.js · TypeScript · n8n | 42 years on IT

I've been programming for 42 years. I've seen entire technologies die and be born. Since 1999 I've maintained Turista.com.mx, a portal that has survived the dot-com bubble, the mobile boom, and the rise of the big OTAs. Today I help companies modernize legacy systems and automate operations with Next.js, TypeScript and n8n.

I combine modern Next.js architecture (App Router, Server Components, SSR/SSG) with n8n automation to eliminate repetitive tasks, improve performance, and reduce technical debt from day one.

I work with three types of clients:

SMBs and local businesses that need a fast, modern web presence with real SEO (not a slow, abandoned WordPress site).
Companies with legacy systems that need to migrate to a modern stack without losing traffic, data, or rankings.
Teams that want to automate content publishing, CRM sync, notifications, and integrations between systems.

What you get:

Blazing-fast applications with optimized Core Web Vitals and real technical SEO.
Automated workflows that free up your team's time.
Clean architecture with TypeScript, CI/CD, and deployments on Vercel or AWS.
Migrations from WordPress, Contentful, or proprietary CMSs with zero downtime.
Fewer maintenance headaches and more focus on growing your business.

My approach: less technical debt, more business impact.

If you have a system that needs modernizing, a site that needs to perform, or an operation that needs automating, let's talk.

Greg Tyree

Gatsby/Strapi Site development and maintenance

We enjoyed working with Enrique Montes, and after the initial project, he was extended to stay even longer and contribute to additional projects.

Enrique brings a very positive and cooperative approach to his work. He was dependable and worked well with minimal guidance required - something that all Managers appreciate.

He delivered a challenging upgrade for our Gatsby implementation (lots of tech debt to deal with) and then helped us with our CMS upgrade as well.
