About
25 Years of Code. 4 Years of Artillery. One Studio.
I'm Miguel — USMC veteran, engineer, and founder of VTRN Studio.
After 4 years in the Marine Corps as an Artillery Sergeant, I spent the next 25 building software at every level — from scrappy startups to Fortune 500 platforms.
I've shipped healthcare SaaS at ClinIntell, built enterprise tax applications at Wolters Kluwer, and launched my own products independently. Now I run VTRN Studio as a solo developer, bringing the same precision and accountability I learned in the field to every project I take on.
No hand-holding. No bloated teams. Just clean code, clear communication, and software that ships.
