What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in a dynamic environment.

I am a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience specializing in backend development using Ruby on Rails and DevOps. My expertise lies in cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), CI/CD automation, and developer enablement. I am a strong advocate for GitOps practices, clean code, and efficient testing methodologies, which I believe are essential for delivering high-quality software.

Throughout my career, I have proven myself as a collaborator, working effectively with international teams and utilizing agile methodologies. At Bounce Imaging, I led the development of an internal test suite that significantly boosted code reliability and maintainability. My time at Gorilla Logic was marked by key contributions to the Jackpocket backend platform, where I successfully reduced loading times by 30% and designed a secure two-factor authentication solution.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity at Universitat de Barcelona, expected to complete in September 2025. My educational background, combined with certifications in Scrum, has equipped me with a solid foundation to tackle complex challenges in software engineering and DevOps.
