Message

At Nisum US, I led technical planning and software design for customer-facing retail platforms, contributing to Gap Inc. digital platform modernization. I also supported the migration from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, where deployment time improved by about 60% and pipeline failures dropped close to zero.

At GFI Informática Colombia, I developed backend services and data processing for BBVA Colombia's Personal Finance Management module, including Elasticsearch-powered search and analytics for digital banking experiences. I also contributed to moving applications from Pivotal Cloud Foundry to Azure Kubernetes Service.

I designed, developed, and launched Budget Stream, a cross-platform personal finance application for Android, iOS, and Web. Its AI-assisted features use Gemini to analyze spending, generate recommendations, and surface financial insights.
