Who am I?

Passionate Software Developer who truly believes that tackling new challenges helps us grow professionally and provides constant learning opportunities. With a focus on leadership and teamwork, I'm always ready to take on challenges and find innovative solutions.

My commitment to continuous learning drives me to seek new opportunities to grow and contribute to the success of the projects I'm part of. Outside of code, you'll find me reading a good sci-fi book or exploring worlds in video games.

Throughout my career I've had the opportunity to work at companies like Rappi, Platzi, and Gipsyy, where I've led development teams, designed microservice architectures, and built solutions that impact millions of users.

My main stack includes Go, Python, and Node.js, with deep experience in microservices, Apache Kafka, event-driven architectures, BigData, and cloud services (AWS, GCP).
