What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable backend systems, distributed services, and cloud infrastructure where I can focus on performance, reliability, automated testing, and open-source collaboration.

I'm building scalable backend services in Python and Node.js/Express.js for simulation and distributed workloads.

I design REST APIs, modular architectures, SQL schemas, and Elasticsearch indexes that support reliable search, storage, and querying across large datasets.

I administer Linux servers, configure networking for cloud-deployed services, and improve delivery through Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, Terraform, and automated Pytest coverage.

I also build React and TypeScript interfaces with Redux, contribute to open source through GitHub, and bring customer-facing problem-solving experience from Comex La Fragua.
