At NSG, I build backend features and services in Python and integrate AI-powered, LLM-based functionality into production applications. I also conduct technical interviews and review code.

At Seek / La Tinka, I led backend development for regulatory, transactional, and internal management platforms. I developed REST APIs and automated regulatory reporting workflows with Excel exports, background processing, and email delivery.

At Truelogic / Minted, I used OpenAI tools for advanced image comparisons and worked with AWS services including Lambda, S3, SQS, EC2, and DynamoDB. I also contributed to container orchestration and infrastructure automation with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible.

At WePayU, I led backend development and designed a leads automation system that increased lead sales by over 20%. The startup won Startup Perú 2019 and secured $15k in funding.
