Dynamic software engineer with 7+ years of experience in cloud solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic software engineer with over 7 years of professional experience, specializing in software architecture, cloud-based solutions, and DevOps practices. My journey began with a BSc in Engineering Physics from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, where I developed a strong foundation in programming languages such as Go and C#. I have since honed my skills in designing and implementing scalable, high-performance software solutions across various industries, including healthcare and gaming.
In my most recent role as a Platform Engineer at Pinterest, I led the design and implementation of internal tools to enhance policies as code and infrastructure as code management. My expertise in Kubernetes management and GitOps practices has enabled me to create robust deployment pipelines that streamline operations. Previously, I contributed to significant projects at Segmed Inc and Globant, where I focused on building event-driven systems and refining CI/CD pipelines. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive innovation and efficiency in software development.
