Hi — I'm Hilario, and I'm the person you'll actually talk to

I'm a web developer in South Florida. No account managers, no hand-offs, no junior subcontractor doing the real work. I scope, design, build, deploy and support your project personally — which is why things move fast and why nothing gets lost in translation.

The honest part

I don't have a wall of client logos yet. What I have instead is two products I built and run myself — and because nobody's NDA covers them, I can show you every decision inside them: the architecture, the numbers, the parts that went wrong and what I did about it. Most portfolios show you a screenshot and a client name. Mine shows you the whole build. When you hire me you can see exactly how I think before you spend a dollar, which is a better signal than a testimonial anyway.

How I work

See the code

My work lives in the open at github.com/Eliherrera33 — real commits, real projects, updated as I build.

What I'm actually good at

Making sites fast and making them legible to machines. Those two things are most of what separates a site that quietly works from one that quietly doesn't. On my own projects that meant static builds on edge infrastructure, a full Schema.org graph, and treating a content site like a maintained system — one source of truth for every number, automated checks that catch stale data before a visitor does. That's the same discipline I bring to a client build, scaled to whatever the job actually needs.

I also use AI tooling heavily and openly. It's why a build that used to take six weeks takes two. It is not a substitute for knowing what you're doing — every line still gets reviewed by someone accountable for it, which is me.

Who I like working with

Small businesses and independent operators who need one thing done properly rather than a retainer that never ends. People who'd rather hear "that's not worth building" than be sold it. If you already know exactly what you want, great — if you only know the problem, that's fine too, scoping it is part of the job.
