Jordi Amat.
Senior full-stack engineer. Former CTO. Practitioner. Based in Mazunte, a small town on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico.
I spent over a decade leading engineering teams, making architecture decisions, and shipping platforms from zero to scale. Then I stepped into a different world — ceremony spaces, healing practices, teaching lineages, land-based communities. Not as a visitor. As a participant.
What I found is that the people doing the most serious work in education, wellness, and community are either running their digital lives on tools that were never designed for them — or they have no digital infrastructure at all. A certification program crammed into Teachable. A facilitator with a global following and no system to hold it. A retreat center whose online presence doesn't begin to reflect what happens in the room.
I understand this world because I live in it. I build from the inside.
Family is the reason I build the way I do.
I live in Mazunte with Nina and our two kids. This isn't a digital nomad chapter — it's home. We chose this place because of the community, the land, and the kind of life we want our children to grow up in.
Building from here means I understand what it takes to create real work in a real place — not from a WeWork, but from the same world my clients inhabit. The pace, the values, the priorities. It shapes everything I build.
London. Barcelona. Mexico City. Mazunte.
I started in London, then Barcelona — building fintech platforms, leading engineering teams, scaling startups. I spent years as CTO — hiring engineers, designing systems, shipping product. I was good at it. But the work I was doing didn't match the life I was building.
Somewhere along the way, ceremony found me. That changed the trajectory. I started sitting with medicine, working with facilitators, attending trainings — spending time in communities doing the real work of holding space for people to heal, grow, and transform.
Mexico City came next — a bridge between the tech world I knew and the practitioner world I was becoming part of.
I ended up in Mazunte — a small village on the Oaxacan coast where half the town is practitioners, facilitators, artists, and builders of alternative schools and projects. And I saw the same pattern everywhere: brilliant people running powerful work on scattered tools that were never built for them.
A Reiki Master Teacher with 300 students tracking everything in Google Sheets. A retreat center with five revenue streams managed on WhatsApp. A community with no digital home except Facebook groups. A touring facilitator juggling eight different ticketing platforms.
I knew how to build the systems these people needed. And I understood — from the inside — why generic platforms would never work for them. A certification isn't a Udemy course. A retreat isn't a hotel booking. A healing practice isn't a SaaS business. The architecture has to reflect the work.
Astral Integration is what happened when a decade of engineering met a life lived inside the work it serves.
I don't just build for this world. I practice in it.
I've trained in multiple modalities — Access Bars, Theta Healing, Reiki, Gene Keys, Family Constellations, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, Kundalini, transpersonal work, psychedelic integration, ceremony, holding space — not because I planned to build platforms for practitioners, but because the work called. Each training changed how I understand what practitioners actually need from their infrastructure.
When I build a booking flow for a healer, I know why the intake matters. When I design a certification system, I understand what progression feels like from the student's side. When I build a community platform, I know what containers are — not just "forums with premium access."
This isn't marketing positioning. I sit in circles. I attend trainings. I run sessions. I know the difference between a modality and a product because I've experienced both.
Why it matters for your platform
- I understand practitioner-client relationships, not just user-customer funnels
- I know why a retreat booking is not a hotel reservation
- I build certification systems that reflect how learning actually happens in embodied work
- I design intake flows that honor the gravity of the offering
- I won't reduce your methodology to a "content library"
The engineering behind the partnership.
Experience
- Former CTO — built and led engineering teams from founding to scale
- 10+ years shipping production software across fintech, SaaS, and now practitioner platforms
- Full-stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, cloud infrastructure
- AI-augmented development — I deliver at the speed of a team with the consistency of a single technical vision
- Architecture-first approach: every decision is structural, not decorative
What I build
- Custom platforms — not templates, not WordPress, not page builders
- Certification & progression systems with prerequisite logic
- Multi-stream booking and intake infrastructure
- Membership portals with gated content and community
- AI assistants trained on your specific methodology
- Multi-language, multi-region platforms for global organizations

Let's talk about your work.
I take on a small number of partnerships at a time. If you've created something original and need a technical partner who builds with you for the long haul, I'd like to hear about it.
