Nick R. — Software engineer, founder of Tumba Web.
Over a decade leading engineering for Wells Fargo, Bank of America, CNBC, and other enterprise organizations. Now working independently from Ecuador.
I'm Nick, a senior software engineer with experience leading engineering teams at Wells Fargo and Bank of America, and building critical platforms for CNBC, NBCUniversal, and other enterprise organizations in the United States. After more than a decade inside the fintech and enterprise tech industries, I founded Tumba Web to bring that same engineering rigor — solid architecture, real accessibility, production-grade performance — to fintech and digital businesses across Latin America.

Specific details of past projects are protected under confidentiality agreements — a commitment I maintain even after agreements expire.
Why Ecuador
After more than a decade working for organizations in the United States, I made a deliberate move: building Tumba Web from Ecuador. The decision combines a few things that matter. Ecuador operates in US dollars — no currency volatility, no exchange complications. The timezone aligns with the US East Coast, making it easy to work closely with both American and Latin American founders. And it positions Tumba Web close to where fintech innovation is actually happening these years: Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and the emerging markets that no longer want to import technology but build it themselves.
How I work
Direct work.
No sales layer, no junior developers, no handoffs to offshore teams. You work with me from the first message to final deployment.
Fixed scope, fixed price.
Clear proposals with defined deliverables. If scope changes mid-project, we discuss before continuing.
Weekly demos.
Every week you see real progress. No surprises at the end, no empty status meetings.
Confidentiality by default.
All work is covered by standard NDA from the first contact. Your product, data, and strategy stay private.
Let's build something together.
A 30-minute call. No sales pressure — just a technical conversation about what you need.
