Puente.
I've been writing software for 15 years. These days I build simple, useful products: tools that make money, groceries and learning a little easier. I also make content about tech and finance.
About
Hi, I'm Rodrigo Puente, a software developer and content creator from El Salvador with 15 years of experience building web and mobile products.
I like ideas that are simple, honest and useful, and most of what I build solves everyday problems for people in El Salvador. MONI helps Salvadorans with money math and gets around 20K visits a month. People have created more than 10K shopping lists on Lista de Súper. Facturito, an open-source Chrome extension, fills in Salvadoran electronic invoices for you. And I founded BrainTok, an iPhone app that makes you learn before you scroll.
I make content about tech, fintech and personal finance for 40K+ followers on TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn. I'm also starting to build in public, so you can follow along as I ship.
