What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead AI-first software delivery, cloud platforms, DevOps, and security for organizations that value resilient systems, developer velocity, strong technical strategy, and high-trust distributed teams.

At Luxeo Cipher, I own the end-to-end technology vision for developer-first, cloud-native SaaS and AI platforms serving regulated healthcare, pharma, and fintech sectors. I architect resilient multi-cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes, balancing scalability, cost-performance, security, and compliance.

I integrate coding agents and the Anthropic API directly into software delivery workflows, designing governed agent behavior, automated intent detection, logging, MCP connectors, and reliable CI/CD release flows. I also ship full-stack platform capabilities including Stripe billing, webhooks, MFA/TOTP security, and OAuth 2.1 integrations.

Previously, as CTO at Arionkoder, I built and scaled Architecture, DevOps, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and IT Pre-Sales functions while setting cloud standards and long-term technical strategy for AI and ML-enabled products.

Across TeraCode, TS Soluciones Informáticas, Cotel, and freelance delivery work, I've led multi-cloud operations, infrastructure, systems administration, web development, recruiting, and distributed engineering teams. I lead from the front, pairing multi-year platform strategy with hands-on work on the hardest delivery, reliability, and security problems.
