Backend Tech Lead at TEAM International modernizing a cross-border remittance platform’s core financial backend with Go, gRPC, and AWS.

Colombia
Message

At TEAM International, I lead the technical modernization of the core financial backend for a cross-border remittance platform. I’m helping transition a legacy SQL Server monolith into Go microservices on AWS, applying Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design.

I also led technical work at Dafiti Group LATAM, where I guided a team of developers supporting the SellerCenter marketplace integration with Dafiti’s platform. We worked with PHP and RabbitMQ services and moved legacy systems toward Golang-based architecture on AWS and Kubernetes.

Earlier, I developed backend APIs and integrations at icogroup, including middleware connected to Salesforce and AWS services. Across my work, I’ve built and integrated distributed systems using messaging, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
