Enrique Chavez.

Kike (Kīke) to almost everybody. Full-stack developer. Valle de Bravo, Mexico.

@devblog:~/about$ cat background.txt

I'm a full-stack developer and IT professional, shipping code since 2003. I'm Head of IT for the Kingmakers group, including Acquira and Empower Labs. I've also worked as a consultant and software technical lead, running development teams that build complete systems for international clients.

I've consulted for Mexican governmental organizations, including INE and INEE.

In 2015 I wrote JWT Authentication for WP REST API, the WordPress plugin. It has 734K+ downloads and 60K+ active installs, and I still keep it running, with JWT Auth Pro next to it. People have used WPPB, my plugin boilerplate generator, to create 450K+ WordPress plugins. On the side I build small web things and keep them running too.

I'm Mexican, happily married, and I live in Valle de Bravo.

@devblog:~/about$ cat how-i-work.txt

I like to help and to solve problems, so I dig into a project until the details hold up in the final product. When I hit something I don't fully know, I research it until I do.

I work as part of a team and keep things organized, with clear, direct communication. I pick the tools and frameworks for each project from what that project needs.
