What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my extensive experience in financial applications and contribute to impactful projects.

With over 14 years of experience in the IT industry, I have honed my skills primarily in the financial sector, focusing on IBM Mainframe technologies. My journey has taken me through various roles, including Mainframe Technical Lead at IBM México, where I lead agile teams in developing, maintaining, and enhancing critical banking applications for clients like USAA Bank. My expertise spans across Cobol, DB2, SQL, and various other technologies, allowing me to deliver robust solutions that meet complex business requirements.

I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders and translate their needs into actionable technical solutions. My experience includes working on legacy payment systems, transforming them to meet modern ISO Payment Standards, and ensuring seamless integration with new technologies. I have a strong background in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), participating in all phases from requirements gathering to implementation and support. My commitment to quality and efficiency has been recognized through my contributions to significant projects, such as the Interbank Electronic Payment System (SPEI) in Mexico.
