About me

I have been building software for over 25 years, from accounting systems in Visual Basic to multi-cloud microservices platforms. That journey gives me a complete perspective: I know what it takes to keep a system running in production, and I design with the person who will inherit it in mind.

At Edenred I led software architecture across five South American countries (Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Colombia and Venezuela). I scaled a microservices solution handling over 10 thousand daily transactions, aligned with GDPR, from local datacenters to multi-region deployments across South America and Europe, and carried out the IaaS to PaaS migration on Azure with a Security by Design approach.

My practice builds on Clean Architecture, DDD, CQRS and observability with OpenTelemetry, complemented by data (Databricks, Spark, dbt) and artificial intelligence: agents, MCP and RAG applied with judgment within a responsible engineering workflow.

Hobbies

  • Lettering and calligraphy

    I am passionate about lettering and calligraphy with fountain pen. I am looking for high-quality inks and notebooks to enrich my experience. Additionally, I have a great interest in venturing into the world of journaling.

  • Reading

    I deeply enjoy reading and listening to novels, with a preference for science fiction, including the “The Expanse” series by James S. A. Corey and “The Three-Body Problem” by Cixin Liu. I also delight in other literary works such as “The Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett, the Noah Gordon Physician trilogy, and “Africanus” by Santiago Posteguillo.

  • Mountain biking

    My hobby consists of taking round-trip mountain bike rides through hills and mountains, both in dry and wet weather conditions, with distances ranging from 100 to 150 kilometers. To carry out these excursions, it is essential that I prepare adequately through intensive training for several days.

  • Programming for fun

    Develop programs of various types as a recreational activity.

  • My family

    Spending quality time with my wife and daughter is my absolute priority and the most enriching activity in my life.
