I build scalable AWS data platforms, pipelines, and backend infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
At Wiipo, I build and maintain a fintech data platform on AWS, spanning Airflow/MWAA orchestration, Spark/EMR processing, and Terraform-managed infrastructure. I've designed and shipped 20+ production DAGs for internal analytics, reporting, and data synchronization.
I also built a RAG-based support chatbot for internal and external users, while contributing to SRE, security incident response, and infrastructure migrations.
Previously at SintropIA, I owned backend and cloud architecture on a part-time basis, from system design through deployment, while leading a two-person engineering team. I made technical decisions across AWS IAM, compute, storage, networking, deployment pipelines, and day-to-day infrastructure operations.
My background at WorkDB includes data engineering, Python development, QA automation, and IT support. I bring a client-focused, solution-oriented approach to building reliable APIs, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and end-to-end workflows.
