Hi, I’m
Software Architect & Full-Stack Developer
Building digital experiences that matter.
15+ years building enterprise software, from architecture to production.
Yes, I use AI every day, but I learned to code using #include <iostream> & window.onload = function() {};
I am a software architect and full-stack developer with more than 15 years of experience, specialized in building complex enterprise software, covering the entire development lifecycle: from the initial idea to deployment in production.
I am passionate about designing and integrating robust systems, always focusing on security, scalability, and the satisfaction of the people who use the product.
I enjoy optimizing performance, collaborating with teams, continuously learning and sharing knowledge. Throughout my career I have worked across all areas of software development: frontend, backend, Linux server administration and cloud operations in AWS and Google Cloud, as well as integrating AI to optimize processes and products, leading projects and architectures with a practical, results-oriented mindset.
My journey started in a simple and curious way: I developed my thesis on Ubuntu 7.04 with Fluxbox and Xfce on a computer with 512 MB of RAM, coding everything by hand and using Windows only to write the final document. That experience shaped my style: learn, solve and build regardless of limitations.
