What I'm looking for

I'm interested in steering my professional career toward Cloud Native environments, with a focus on Infrastructure as Code using technologies like Terraform.

At Gob. Digital, Sec. de Finanzas y Administración, I collaborated on a Jenkins and Kubernetes deployment platform, decoupling CI/CD logic with the Fleet GitOps operator. I also provisioned Kubernetes environments and helped integrate a Kong API Gateway under GitOps.

Before moving into DevOps, I collaborated on a Laravel e-commerce platform for events with over 3,000 spots and restructured an electronic signature module. I also helped build a Flutter and Laravel tool for collecting and exporting biometric data, using Docker and GitHub Actions.

My earlier work includes developing a Laravel and Livewire SSO system used daily by 6,500 users, as well as Flutter applications with Firebase integrations for freelance clients. I hold AWS Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate certifications, and I'm interested in Cloud Native environments and Infrastructure as Code with Terraform.
