Luis M Mahiques
Senior software engineer
Backend depth.Creative web instincts.
I build dependable systems and playful digital experiences — from Rails services at scale to Rust tools, WebAssembly games and map-based products.
Selected work
Small ideas, built all the way.
A handful of products and experiments where systems thinking meets interaction design.
Programmable simulation
Traffic Jam
A traffic playground where code controls the lights and every decision ripples across the city grid.
Live code editing, animated simulation and immediate visual feedback.
Rust + WebAssembly game
Word Killer
A sharp little word game built to make language practice feel more like play than homework.
A compact progressive web app delivered through Rust and WebAssembly.
Perception speed game
Click the Colors
Find each shade in sequence while the clock keeps score. Simple rules, surprisingly hard focus.
A tactile color grid with progressive stages, timing and accuracy feedback.
Rust process supervisor
Spawner
A small Unix process keeper that starts, watches and restarts applications from a TOML file.
Arguments, environment variables, output routing and graceful shutdown included.
Experience
More than a decade, across the stack.
Backend engineering is the through-line. Curiosity about products, people and the browser keeps the work broad.

About
I like systems that feel human.
My work lives between backend reliability and playful interaction. I enjoy untangling distributed services just as much as making a tiny game feel responsive and alive.
After 12+ years in software, I care about calm architecture, useful feedback loops and helping the people around me grow. The best code is code a team can keep changing.
