Mario Pabon is a founder and full-stack software engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building consumer-facing web products end-to-end. He has led architecture and teams at early-stage startups and shipped infrastructure for payments, payroll, and AI-enabled project management, and now runs Plátano Labs where he builds and markets apps like Ritmo and Gridle. Comfortable across branding, frontend, backend, and deployment, he blends product-minded engineering with hands-on craftsmanship. His Github persona—javascript^bustelo—hints at a playful, JavaScript-first approach and a taste for small, focused projects.
