Jorge Luis Urquiza Contreras
@jorgeluisurquizacont
I build and scale cloud-native platforms, event-driven systems, and product teams.
What I'm looking for
At Workmate, I lead architecture and technical decisions for serverless applications, scaling Work-ID to more than 30,000 registered accounts and taking PGT from MVP to production for 4,000+ workers.
I've built reliable integrations across AWS Lambda, SQS, Redis, JWT-based SSO, and asynchronous processing, including a webhook synchronization flow with retry and idempotency logic that keeps worker status current in real time. I also designed an AI-assisted document-validation pilot and replaced timeout-prone synchronous integrations with queue-based workflows.
Previously, I built event-driven Spring Boot services at Digital Harbor, led the Synergia team at Banco Fassil, and delivered mobile and backend products at Yaigo. I bring 7+ years of hands-on full-stack engineering across Node.js, TypeScript, Angular, React, AWS, and distributed teams.
