IT Generalist & AI Developer at 7 Managed Services, automating application development and connecting local networks to AWS and Azure.
PanamaWhat I'm looking for
At 7 Managed Services, S.A., I work on AI-assisted application development automation, full-stack integration, DevOps tooling, and Terraform Infrastructure as Code. I also administer Microsoft 365 and manage vendors.
I connect local networks to AWS and Azure. Previously, at Security International, TDLA, I administered Linux and Windows servers, backup and storage platforms, and Azure cloud services.
At the University of Panama, FIEC, I teach undergraduate and postgraduate topics in data networks, operating systems, and cloud computing. My M.Sc. in Communications Systems Engineering focused on data networks, and my thesis explored cloud computing for mobile devices on wireless networks.
My work has also included coordinating investment projects for UMIP’s logistics research center and providing technical support in university laboratories. I’m an ISO 9001:2015 internal auditor and have written IEEE publications on mobile cloud computing and Panama’s scientific and technological network.
