What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior engineering roles where I can lead distributed-systems projects, mentor engineers, build scalable services, and collaborate across multicultural teams while continuing to learn and grow.

I'm a passionate software engineer who began my career in Mexico building backend systems for companies such as Toshiba and Texas Instruments, then relocated to the US to work at Microsoft and later DoorDash where I advanced to technical lead roles. I have led multicultural teams, written and reviewed design documents, and driven projects in governance and consumer segmentation with measurable impact.

I focus on distributed systems, systems design, and strong engineering practices, and I enjoy mentoring new joiners, interviewing candidates, and collaborating cross-functionally to ship reliable, scalable services. I continuously learn new technologies and share knowledge, combining hands-on implementation with leadership to deliver high-quality software.
