Hello, I'm Miriam Acuña

I originally graduated in Economics at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. But somewhere along the way I stumbled into code, fell for it, and never looked back — I've been building products ever since.

Today I'm a Mid-Level Software Developer with almost 4 years of experience building production features for B2B commerce platforms. My day-to-day mixes reviewing PRDs (Product Requirements Documents), shipping code, and attending weekly meetings to translate business needs into technical requirements. I lean on AI tools like Claude Code to ship faster — it handles the scaffolding so I can focus on architecture and tradeoffs.

I pursue high-quality, reliable code, and I don't give up until something gets fixed. Strong leadership and team communication are the parts of the job I enjoy most after the code itself.

Lately I've been writing about how I built my own mechanical keyboard for better ergonomics on DEV.to/miriacode. Always eager to learn and grow. Based in Bogotá, working in Spanish and English.

Mid-Level Software Developer · Riqra

Lima, Peru · B2B e-commerce platform for LATAM distributors

〈 Features Shipped 〉

Implemented the announcement bar and email delivery via Postmark across the e-commerce admin.
Migrated product indexing to Algolia — significantly improving search speed and faceted filtering for distributor catalogs.
Refactored the front-end using the Atomic Design approach for a more modular, scalable component structure.
Integrated the e-commerce admin panel with GA4 for advanced analytics and event tracking.
Built the invoice uploading flow on AWS S3 with pre-signed URLs.

〈 Project Leadership 〉

Owned major cross-functional projects end-to-end — from kickoff to production — driving technical design, implementation, and rollout across multiple system layers. Including quotations checkout (line items, coupons, invoicing), bulk ordering, and couriers & branches management.
Built a portfolios management system backed by a granular permissions layer from scratch, now serving 400+ distributors across the platform.
Led the customer & distributor vertical of the multi-vendor architecture migration — built the migration foundation (data migration scripts, distributor resolution refactor), the distributor REST API surface (CRUD, features, coverage, document types), and the full back-office UX.
Integrated three ERPs end-to-end — KameERP , ControlERP , and Shopify — order and quotation sync, retry logic for failed payload groups, and GraphQL-based product/variant/price sync, plus personalized pop-ups for client-specific campaigns.
Ensured on-time delivery per client agreements — coordinated scope, dependencies, and trade-offs.

〈 Team Leadership 〉

Led the tech team for a period — managing daily tasks, prioritizing the backlog, delegating, and providing engineering support.
Code review on every PR; pursued high-quality, reliable code patterns the team can keep alive after I'm done with the ticket.

〈 Client Engagement 〉

Ran client discovery sessions with distributors and manufacturers to surface real business needs, translating them into technical specs and implementation plans the team could execute on.
Worked with B2B distributor clients across Peru, Chile, and Guatemala — different tax rules, currencies, and ERP integrations in every country.

Writing on DEV.to/miriacode

Besides being a tech enthusiast, I'm also interested in making my work tools efficient — both software and hardware. That's why I wrote this series of articles on building a mechanical keyboard to improve ergonomics.

How I built my first mechanical keyboard — Part 1

Intro to the core components — PCBs, plates, switches, and keycaps — before building a split ergonomic keyboard from scratch.
