## About

```text
At Payway, I lead technical delivery for the Integrations Portal and design AI integration solutions. I deployed an intelligent integration assistant using n8n, AWS Bedrock, Redis, and RAG, and developed a corporate MCP server that exposes payment tools, OpenAPI contracts, and RAG in development IDEs.

I also guide Java Spring Boot microservices and React development, with Kafka and Webhooks for asynchronous messaging. Earlier, I managed Payway integration projects at Prisma Medios de Pago and worked in technical analysis and QA at QServices and Accenture; my personal projects include a travel-planning MCP server and a full-stack e-commerce platform.
