Tools, apps, websites, and experiments — crafted with a builder’s mindset.
I’m a welder who codes and a self-taught, applied engineer. I build tools, apps, and digital infrastructure designed to work in the real world — not just in theory.
My name is Armando Tabarez (known online as Mando-Man). I blend hands-on craftsmanship with modern software engineering to create tools that are practical, durable, and human-centered.
I operate at the intersection of bits and atoms. It started with steel:
Building my first rig taught me ownership. These values drive my work today:
Software should be treated like infrastructure: reliable, adaptable, and made to last.
I design software I’m proud to stand behind—accountability is key.
Le Unique Generators: Owner. Restoration and mechanical systems. Bringing machines back to life taught me how to debug complex systems.
Mando-Man Software: CEO & Founder. Full-stack apps and developer tools.
Solving actual problems before chasing the latest tech trends or hype.
My work spans from low-level systems to immersive front-end experiences.
I’m always open to discussing new projects, creative ideas, or opportunities to be part of your visions. Whether you have a detailed proposal or just want to say hi, I’ll try my best to get back to you!
