Hi, I'm Roberto Duran
Solving problems with code + CTO + Co-founder
Experienced software engineer with over 15+ years crafting high-performance applications and leading development teams to success.
About Me
I’ve been building software systems for over 15 years—always with a deep focus on performance, clarity, and clean execution. I started as a backend engineer obsessed with speed and scale, but over time, my curiosity led me toward emerging tech—testing, breaking, and optimizing everything from databases to AI-driven architectures. What drives me is not just building systems that work, but systems that communicate—where data is structured, precise, and actionable. I believe clarity is power, especially in a world drowning in noise. At VX, I focus on how we can turn fragmented, messy information into fast, clean, and intelligent systems—so people can think, create, and act with more clarity and impact.
As the Lead Developer and Co-founder at ParkourDevs, I've been instrumental in creating innovative solutions including AI assistants, data analytics platforms, and developer tools. My approach combines technical excellence with business acumen to deliver high-quality products that exceed expectations.
Known for my detail-oriented approach and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, I'm passionate about solving complex problems and contributing to organizational success through collaborative teamwork and innovative thinking.
