ABOUT / HECTOR VIRREY
I build software from problem to product.
I'm a full-stack developer who enjoys taking an idea from the first interface through the backend logic, database, and deployment.
01 / THE STORY SO FAR
Building things taught me how much I wanted to understand what was underneath them.
I'm Hector Virrey, a full-stack developer and software engineer in the Chicago, Illinois area.
Building PetCare Hub, GigMate, and NeighborLink has taken me across the full stack: from interfaces and application logic to authentication, databases, APIs, and deployment.
Working through those connections, and debugging when they don't behave as expected, is what keeps me interested. I want to understand how each part supports the experience someone actually uses.
Building these products has also pushed me to strengthen my programming fundamentals and deepen my understanding of the systems behind the code. I'm constantly working to become more independent as an engineer—not just knowing what works, but understanding why it works.
