What I'm looking for

I am looking for backend roles focused on building scalable, secure APIs with strong testing and CI/CD, collaborative teams, and opportunities to improve performance and reliability.

I am a backend engineer with two years of hands-on experience designing and deploying containerized GraphQL and REST APIs using NestJS and Express. I build production-oriented services with a strong focus on authentication, caching, pagination, background jobs and CI-driven testing.

My work emphasizes performance and reliability: I architected modular GraphQL APIs with cursor-based pagination, designed secure session and RBAC systems, and improved throughput via Redis caching and background processing.

I bring a solid C++ foundation for low-level data structures and performance-oriented design, demonstrated by template-based C++20 implementations and a relational data manager project using clean architecture.

I value clean system architecture, automated CI/CD, and reproducible deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions). I communicate fluently in Spanish and professionally in English, and I seek to contribute to teams that prioritize reliability, testability, and scalable backend design.
