What I'm looking for

I want to build backend systems that combine scalable data pipelines with practical AI—ship reliable integrations, improve observability and performance, and own features end-to-end from ingestion to analytics in a collaborative engineering culture.

I’m a Backend Software Engineer (Systems Engineer by training) focused on building production-ready data and integration platforms. At Nauta, I design and build core ingestion and orchestration pipelines in Kotlin/Vert.x, deliver real-time container tracking, and develop Prisma—an AI-powered document intelligence pipeline for extraction and classification from trade documents.

I also architect inventory management from scratch using CQRS with PostgreSQL, including a Python inventory-calculator-worker with Monte Carlo simulation and XGBoost-based demand forecasting. Previously at Rappi, I contributed to high-throughput delivery systems (including migrating massive processing to Amazon Kinesis and storing in S3), built offer/expense controls, and developed CMS-driven massive offers; earlier, at UEBOS SAS, I built automation features and authentication/report flows for SPA web apps.
