Ace Cerio
Tech Lead & Full Stack Developer
I turn product ideas into working systems — and make sure the team ships.
No fluff, no endless meetings. Just solid architecture, clean code, and products that actually ship.
What I Bring
I connect product and code
PM has big ideas? Cool. I figure out what's buildable, make a real timeline, and get it done. No endless refinement meetings.
I care if it makes money
Not here to write pretty code. Does this feature help your business? Will users care? If not, I'll say so and suggest something better.
I make devs better (directly)
Honest code reviews. Teams level up fast because I don't sugarcoat. But you only hear about mistakes once. Same error twice? We're having a chat.
I build with AI (the right way)
Work gets done faster because I know exactly what to ask and how to validate it. 8 years of experience means I guide the tech, not the other way around.
How I Work
The Foundation
I learned to code the hard way — from scratch, building everything myself.
Frontend Development
What users see and interact with — buttons, forms, pages
Backend Development
The engine behind the scenes — databases, APIs, business logic
Deployment & Operations
Getting it live and keeping it running smoothly
8 years of building everything from the ground up
How I Work Now
Same foundation, 10x the speed. Experience + AI = your project done right, fast.
I Know What to Ask AI
8 years of building by hand means I know exactly how to direct AI
I Know What You Need
I get the business side — not just code, but why it matters
Time for the Important Stuff
AI handles features, I optimize infrastructure and make everything better

My Approach
Teams don't need task boards
They need someone to point the direction, clear obstacles, and trust them. I orchestrate strategy; devs own the work.
Quality compounds
Rather spend an hour preventing bugs than a week fixing them. Cut corners early, pay interest later.
I'm blunt but fair
If something's wrong, you'll hear it. But I celebrate wins too. No games, no politics, just honest talk.
