I'm a fullstack engineer from Buenos Aires, ten years in, mostly TypeScript, React and Node. Today I work on Developer Experience at NEAR Protocol: I build the tooling and example apps behind docs.near.org, built its Ask AI assistant, and ship features from the database to the UI. My CV and projects are at matiasbenary.com.
Over the last 12 months I've been the #1 contributor to near/docs by merged PRs (43, more than any other author), on top of 228 merged pull requests across open source, most of them in repos I don't own: near-api-js, create-near-app, hello-near-examples, nearai/ironclaw. Before that I led the migration of Fonselp's legacy Laravel platform to Node and React; 7,500+ organizations use it. I write a weekly newsletter on NEAR internals at neardev.substack.com.
