I build software that works —and keeps working after I hand it off.

I'm Katherine Prieto, a full-stack developer. I take ambiguous problems and ship simple, maintainable systems: web apps, AI features, and the automation that holds them together.

01About

I take ambiguous problems and ship simple, maintainable systems.

Web apps, AI features, and the automation that holds them together — built to be handed off, documented, and maintained. I work remotely from Nicaragua with full working-day overlap across US time zones, in English and Spanish.

02Work

Two things I build and run.

Full-stack · Live in production

TutorIA — voice-first AI language tutor

A real-time AI tutor that holds spoken conversations with learners across six languages. I built and run the whole stack: a Lovable + React front end wrapped for iOS and Android, a Supabase backend, and OpenAI's Realtime API for low-latency voice. Payments run through multiple processors across two currencies. Two products share one codebase — a consumer app and a schools console.

The interesting problem — keeping a voice tutor on-level and on-lesson without it drifting into the wrong language or breaking pedagogy. That lives in the prompt architecture and session planning, not just the model.

Codiable — custom software for local business

Through Codiable, my studio, I build web and mobile apps for Nicaraguan businesses — admin panels, booking systems, internal tools. Small, fast, done right.

Background

Healthcare Operations & Bilingual Interpreting — Years designing auditable record-retrieval workflows and interpreting across medical and legal settings — where I learned to turn tangled processes into clear systems and to communicate precisely in English and Spanish.

04What I do

Ship products

Web and mobile apps from blank page to production. React, TypeScript, Supabase, modern stacks.

Build AI features

Real-time voice, chat interfaces, LLM integrations, evals. Not demos — features that survive real users.

Automate the tedious

n8n, Make, and custom scripts that replace repetitive work with something that runs itself.

Bridge two languages

Build, document, and communicate fluently in English and Spanish.

05How I work

01

Scope

A short call, then a written scope. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before I write a line of code.

02

Build

Weekly visible progress. Working software over status reports, pushed to a repo you can see.

03

Hand off

Documented, maintainable, and yours. I leave code that keeps working after the engagement ends.

06Rate & availability

Project-based or hourly, agreed on scope before anything starts. No retainers, no surprises. Tell me what you're building and I'll send a number.

Based in Nicaragua (UTC−6) — full working-day overlap with US teams across Eastern, Mountain, and Pacific.
