Juan Lira is a founder and frontend developer based in Cancún with a long history of building web products and leading technical teams across startups and agencies. He combines over two decades of industry experience with seven years of focused professional practice, founding multiple ventures (prjct.app, Viago Travel, treevo) and serving as a technical lead at companies like Distillery and Thrive Market. His work sits at the intersection of AI and human needs—pursuing practical AI applications rather than trend-driven experiments—and he has hands-on experience shipping UX-focused interfaces, Hasura-based apps, and ecommerce platforms. Juan’s background in graphic design informs a user-centered approach to frontend engineering and product design, enabling him to bridge visual strategy and code. Colleagues describe him as an entrepreneurial technologist who moves fluidly between product direction and implementation, often bootstrapping solutions end-to-end. Based in Mexico’s tech-and-tourism hub, he brings a global outlook to building customer-facing software that scales.
