What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a builder role focused on automation and integration—removing real operational friction through reliable monitoring, resilient APIs, and infrastructure work that keeps production running smoothly.

I’m a Systems Engineer and IT Specialist who builds and maintains production automation and API integrations. At Bolivisión SRL, I administer critical infrastructure and workflow automation for live broadcast operations, sustaining 99.9% availability through end-to-end monitoring, rapid incident response, and real-time Telegram alert integrations. I also design encrypted WireGuard VPN bridges to enable reliable remote video transmission, and I run security auditing and forensic traffic analysis with Wireshark, Nmap, and Fortinet firewalls.

In addition to live operations, I’ve led and delivered full-stack systems in freelance work, including a Django/React REST API inventory platform integrated with a native Android Kotlin scanner and cross-platform MySQL sync logic. I’ve also supported performance optimization as a Web Development Intern and I’m currently deepening SQL and data-pipeline skills through a postgraduate diploma in Data Science and Machine Learning.
