Software Architect modernizing financial platforms with .NET and Azure, leading microservices migrations and backend engineering teams.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Architect and Technical Leader focused on modernizing financial platforms by migrating legacy systems into distributed architectures. I’ve led backend transformation using .NET and Azure—designing API-driven microservices, establishing asynchronous integration standards, and operationalizing CI/CD with Azure DevOps.
In my recent roles, I defined architecture patterns like Clean Architecture, DDD, and CQRS, then delivered event-driven solutions with RabbitMQ and Azure Service Bus. I also strengthened reliability and security through centralized observability (Application Insights, OpenTelemetry) and DevSecOps practices aligned with OAuth2 and OWASP Top 10.
