Emerson Machado
@emersonmachado
Lead Full Stack Developer & Cloud Architect at Sapiencia, where I built a Qwen-powered citizen-service chatbot and cut cloud costs by about 60%.
What I'm looking for
At Sapiencia, I own the full lifecycle of the agency’s web platforms, from requirements and architecture through production support. I built a citizen-service chatbot on the Qwen API and Aurora, a microservices platform using .NET and Angular.
I also run Sapiencia’s Google Cloud environment with Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and Cloud Run. After migrating legacy workloads to containers and Cloud Run, I reduced cloud operating costs by about 60%, and I built Jenkins and Cloud Build pipelines to automate builds, tests, and deployments.
Previously, I designed and built a cemetery management system for Medellín Secretariat of Peace & Human Rights, and at SENA I led delivery of 18+ software projects. I’m looking to bring my full-stack, cloud, and AI development experience to product teams shipping AI-powered software.
