FastStruct View case study

01 · Problem

Before Claude Code (May 2025) I used the Claude web interface to code. Sharing project context meant copy-pasting file by file manually.

02 · Process

I built FastStruct as a TypeScript VS Code extension: single command that scans the workspace, honors .gitignore, formats structured markdown and copies to clipboard. Configurable exclusion patterns.

03 · Result

5x faster personal workflow when instructing AIs. Published in the Marketplace, still useful even now with Claude Code for cases where I need compact context for sub-agents or external summaries.

Metrics

5x faster context handoff

CV builder (bypabloc/cv) View case study

01 · Problem

I needed my own CV builder to iterate fast on CV data without hand-editing each export. Tight timeline: one night available.

02 · Process

Vibe coding session with Claude Code on 2026-05-12: iterative prompts to define data schema, render, themes and export. Human code review on every commit. No copy-paste without understanding.

03 · Result

Working MVP in a single night, public repo at bypabloc/cv. Demonstrates that Claude Code + human review combo ships product without sacrificing maintainability.

Built in one night (May 12-13, 2026)

Sistema de saldar deudas (Chile) View case study

01 · Problem

Chilean users lacked a clear channel to regularize debts and financial institutions were losing significant collections. Sensitive data (PII) + LATAM financial compliance.

02 · Process

As Frontend Architect I orchestrated Django microservices with Vue/Nuxt frontend: eligibility → offer → payment. PII handling with encryption in transit and at rest. Bureau integrations + KYC verification.

03 · Result

Measurable improvement in collection operational efficiency and end-user experience. Platform still in production serving the Chilean market (detailed metrics under NDA).

Producto de créditos (México) View case study

01 · Problem

Mexican market required accessible personal credit with fast onboarding. Local regulatory constraints + KYC friction + credit bureau integrations.

02 · Process

Tiered-credit product + embedded scoring + low-friction approval flow. Vue/Nuxt frontend + Django microservices + Mexican credit bureau integrations. Documented architecture decisions for successors.

03 · Result

Key contribution to Destacame LATAM fintech portfolio in the Mexican market. Pattern reuse from the Chilean product with local regulatory adaptation (metrics under NDA).
