What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build scalable, mission-critical software platforms, mentor engineers, and drive architecture through deployment in collaborative Agile teams.

At Unique Vacations, I lead architecture and engineering for the Sandals & Beaches Resorts digital platform, supporting a major Caribbean luxury booking ecosystem.

I build high-performance Go microservices for real-time availability, event pipelines, and API gateway services, while guiding CRS modernization around IDeaS and IBS Software iStay initiatives.

I've mentored 5+ engineers through code reviews, architecture workshops, and technical coaching. Previously, I built Spring Boot, Java, and Go services for reservation, pricing, inventory, guest services, payments, and travel-distribution integrations.

I also architected Yuti, a Kotlin and GCP nightlife ticketing platform serving Spanish venues including Pacha, Eden Ibiza, BCM Mallorca, and Teatro Barcelo, covering payments, QR entry, geolocation, APIs, and venue operations.
