Marcos Vega, Mechatronics engineer, full stack developer and writer

Mechatronics engineer specialized in full stack development, with over a decade in the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem. I focus on Vue and Nuxt, Astro, NestJS and modern web architectures. I've migrated legacy systems to current frameworks, led UI/UX overhauls and integrated complex third-party APIs. I adapt quickly to shifting technology paradigms. Today I work with AI-assisted workflows and spec-driven development, and I move just as comfortably between frontend and backend.

Merits

  • “Entrar al mundo de la Mecatrónica”. Featured in a segment of a 22 Voces, a Canal 22 TV program devoted to Mexico's most outstanding students.

  • Honorable mention for ranking first in the 2007–2010 class of the Metrology and Quality Control technical program (CECyT No. 10, IPN).

Interests

What I do outside of work says as much about how I work as what I do during working hours.

  • Writing.

    It comes first. Fisura Interdimensional, my first novel, was born from the wish to tell a story that would set something off inside whoever reads it, and it ended up giving rise to Onca Vega Press.

  • AI and collaboration with digital minds.

    I'm drawn to a horizontal coexistence between humans and digital minds: an AI as a colleague, not a tool. I work this way every day with Koda, and from that relationship come projects in progress: a way to improve collaboration between humans and digital minds, and an autonomous blog in the works.

  • Game development.

    A years-long goal that is finally taking shape: making our own video games, in collaboration.

  • Entrepreneurship.

    Onca Vega is no longer an idea: it's a publishing imprint, a platform, client projects and a queue of products to build.

  • Sport.

    Calisthenics and martial arts as a steady discipline. I'm also into sports nutrition and physiotherapy, because progress doesn't stop at training.

  • Working with my hands.

    Blacksmithing and electrical work, and soon 3D printing, to bring into the physical world what today is designed on a screen.

  • Music and animation.

    I still want to learn to play the guitar, an instrument full of family history for me, and to make electronic music. Animated videos draw me in too.
