Software developer · San Antonio, Texas

Hi, I’m Victor.
I build software
for real work.

A shuttle driver needs to see who’s covering the next shift. A mediator needs two parties to pay separately. An insurance advisor needs a better way to help clients get started.

I turn those everyday problems into web applications and connected workflows. I build with Java, Spring Boot, MySQL, and JavaScript, and run Renatus Technology, my independent software studio.

01 / Selected work

Built around the problem.

Client websites and an independent product,
from the first workflow to the working application.

01Independent product · Transportation

Is the Shuttle Running?

Employee transportation, from driver coverage to the rider’s next trip.

I built this application from a problem I saw firsthand while helping with employee transportation. It grew from a schedule-import tool into a platform for planning coverage, recording driving activity, and sharing shuttle status.

Workforce schedule imports, demand windows, and driver assignments.
Manager overrides and separate records for planned and actual driving.
Organization accounts and role-based access for managers and drivers.
Public rider status with QR access and driver session controls.
