What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build fullStack applications, own CI/CD automation, and deliver measurable business outcomes and DevOps execution.

I’m a Senior Backend Developer and DevOps Engineer with 15+ years of experience architecting and deploying scalable, high-availability systems for enterprise clients. I focus on bridging complex infrastructure with business outcomes across industries including IoT, media, and government.

I build with Python (Django, DRF, Flask) and SQL-first data platforms like PostgreSQL, while leveraging cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, and GCP. A result I’m proud of: reducing data processing cycles from 4 weeks to 3 days by designing automated CI/CD pipelines and integrating ERP/CRM platforms.

In my work at 4Lytics and Independent Consulting, I designed and deployed customized ERP/CRM platforms and built Python/PHP integrations to automate cross-system workflows and reduce manual overhead. I also deployed cloud-native solutions on AWS and GCP to deliver secure, scalable, high-availability systems.

At FUdeA (University of Antioquia), I led DevOps modernization of high-availability infrastructure and streamlined cross-functional data workflows, reducing a manual hiring process from 4 weeks to 3 days—a 93% time reduction. Along the way, I’ve also managed production web apps across GCP and AWS, built IoT automation with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and supported enterprise deployments with reliable scripting and infrastructure practices.
