What I'm looking for

I seek backend/cloud roles building scalable APIs and distributed systems in collaborative teams, with opportunities to grow architecturally and adopt modern cloud practices.

I am a software developer with 10 years of experience focused on backend and cloud-native API development, principally using Java, Go and NodeJS. I have built and supported cloud applications across banking, payments and enterprise sectors, contributing to end-to-end solutions from databases to CI/CD.

My recent roles include Senior Java Developer at Globant and Senior Software Engineer at Mercado Libre, where I developed cloud-exposed APIs, worked with AWS services, and used CI/CD platforms like Azure DevOps and Fury. I have strong experience with Spring Boot, Docker, and relational and NoSQL databases.

I am passionate about continuous learning and improving my craft, enjoy solving complex integration challenges, and seek opportunities to deliver scalable, reliable systems while expanding expertise in cloud-native architectures and modern backend technologies.
