What I'm looking for

I want to build and evolve products where Go and full-stack architecture matter—shipping reliable systems, automations, and developer-friendly tooling. I’m especially excited by cybersecurity or data-driven platforms, migrations, and measurable impact.

I’m a software engineer with 10+ years of experience in Software Design, Architecture, and Development. I specialize in turning complex ideas into functional, well-built digital products—making technology simple to use through efficient, automated, high-impact solutions.

At Wawandco S.A.S., I led a migration of a website from HubSpot to a custom Hugo-based platform, defining the architecture and integrating a CMS for non-technical content management. I also integrated a new CRM, migrated forms and content, and implemented automatic URL redirects using Cloudflare Functions to preserve SEO rankings.

I’ve built cybersecurity capabilities end-to-end, including generative AI training courses delivered through a Golang application with SCORM export support. For the SaaS platform, I developed simulated phishing campaigns for human risk management aligned to HIPAA and ISO 27001 standards.

I focus on building practical systems that save time and improve outcomes—like automating email template generation to cut campaign creation time by ~90% and migrating a sales cost estimation tool from Ruby on Rails to Golang. I enjoy research and mentoring too, having evaluated new technologies (React, React Native, Swift, Auth0) and trained a junior developer through pair programming and code reviews.
