What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote opportunities where I can lead system architecture and technical strategy—turning complex business needs into secure, scalable SaaS platforms. I value high-complexity environments, real technical ownership, and strong delivery accountability.

I started programming when the internet was still in its infancy, and after more than 25 years I evolved from developer to solutions architect and technology leader. I connect business strategy with high-level technical execution, with a practical focus on measurable results.

As Founder + Builder + Architect at Infinity web, I lead the creation of scalable custom platforms—SaaS systems, CRMs, educational platforms, and complex integrations. I have developed and delivered more than 50 projects, structuring secure, scalable architectures for performance and growth, and translating client business needs into technology.

In executive roles, I led technology strategy and architecture across fintech and investment operations. As Chief Technology Officer (CTO), I drove improvements in legacy systems, owned system scalability and security, structured agile processes and technical backlogs, and built banking-focused solutions with reliable integrations with financial partners and external systems.

My specialty spans from architecture to delivery: payment gateway and API integrations, automation with AI and chatbots, and end-to-end infrastructure management (servers, cloud, security, and networks). I’m open to remote projects, technical leadership, systems architecture, and digital transformation—especially in high-complexity environments where consulting and strategic partnerships matter.
