What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote Senior Java Backend Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, and backend-focused Java/Kotlin opportunities available to candidates in Mexico.

I've built, modernized, and supported enterprise platforms at EPAM Systems for global financial services, media, and life sciences clients, delivering Java and Spring Boot services, AWS solutions, REST APIs, microservices, and event-driven integrations.

Previously at IBM, I developed Java enterprise applications and full-stack functionality for financial-services and server-manufacturing workflows. I connect requirements to maintainable delivery through code reviews, production troubleshooting, automated testing, CI/CD, and close collaboration with product, QA, and DevOps teams.
