Soto Projects is a principal-led practice founded by Alvin Soto, based in San José, Costa Rica (9°56′N · 84°05′W, GMT-6), operating across US and EU time zones with bilingual capability.
The track record is 15 years of documented practice — work with HPE across 150+ countries and Granicus for US-government engagements — with 4,000+ hours delivered and zero failed engagements, verifiable through LinkedIn and public works registers.
The methodology is consistent: a written scope document before development, operational runbooks with recovery procedures, parallel communication for technical and executive audiences, and architectural decisions optimized for year three rather than the demo.
The practice draws from a vetted specialist network — a backup engineer, AI/ML specialists, a data-visualization lead, and an operations advisory board — all documented in the client continuity plan.
