What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote contractor engagements where I can build Azure-native SaaS platforms, production AI and agentic systems, and scalable backend services while contributing architecture leadership and mentoring engineering teams.

At GlobalLogic, I led the architecture and hands-on engineering of an Azure-native multi-tenant SaaS platform serving 2,000+ enterprise customers across multiple regions. I built event-driven microservices, serverless processing, Redis caching, RAG pipelines, vector search, and enterprise chatbots grounded in organizational data.

Previously, I delivered secure REST APIs and cloud-native workflows for a Fortune 500 global e-commerce platform at MAS Global, and designed containerized microservices at Globant. I’ve also led high-traffic platforms for ElEmpleo.com, Carroya, and Metrocuadrado, supporting 15,000+ concurrent users per hour.

I bring 15+ years across the Microsoft stack, from C#, ASP.NET Core, Azure, and distributed systems to Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Semantic Kernel, and agentic workflows. As a former Microsoft MVP and certified Azure AI Engineer, I enjoy building reliable enterprise software while mentoring teams and accelerating delivery with AI-assisted engineering.
