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.

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.

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.
