Rel Guzman
I build scalable software with a strong focus on UX/UI and architecture. With over 3 years of experience in full-stack development and an academic background in AI and deep learning, I bridge the gap between elegant design, robust engineering, and intelligent systems.

Selected Work
A selection of my recent full-stack and design engineering projects.
Modular CMS built under a monorepo structure. Features media ingestion pipelines (Cloudinary, YouTube API), granular RBAC, and a RESTful API for testimonial syndication.
AI-driven analytics platform using Gemini API. Features a CSV ingestion pipeline, output guardrails to mitigate hallucinations, and a containerized full-stack architecture.
Healthcare tracking platform designed to monitor patient progress and medical staff workflows. Built with a robust React and TypeScript frontend, integrated with Supabase.
Microfrontend architecture encapsulating Host and Remote apps via Webpack Module Federation in Docker, ensuring system resilience with lazy loading and fallbacks.
Full-stack web application designed with a strong focus on UI/UX. Implemented responsive interactive interfaces and integrated robust backend services for a seamless user experience.
