System Engineer and backend / full-stack developer based in Bogotá, Colombia.

I build maintainable backend services, production-ready integrations, and web applications that solve real business problems. I have 2+ years of professional experience working on real products in production, including APIs, e-commerce integrations, payment gateways, event-driven flows, observability, and AWS-based deployments.

I'm currently open to new opportunities in tech, especially backend, full-stack, frontend, cloud, and infrastructure-adjacent roles where I can keep growing while contributing to real product delivery.

Backend

Kotlin, REST APIs, business logic, microservices, modular monoliths, distributed services, clean architecture, SOLID, layered architecture.

Frontend

Next.js, React, TypeScript, JavaScript, end-to-end product features, API integration, user-facing workflows.

Cloud & DevOps

AWS, EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, ECR, SQS, IAM, load balancers, Docker, Git, deployment workflows.

Data & Messaging

Relational databases, NoSQL databases, Oracle, MariaDB, Kafka, RabbitMQ, publisher/subscriber patterns, event-driven architecture.

Observability & Production

CloudWatch, Sentry, incident diagnosis, error tracking, maintainability improvements, production support.

Integrations

Payment gateways, third-party APIs, Dropi, Mercado Pago, Stripe, Shopify, e-commerce platforms.

Working on backend and full-stack features for a product ecosystem involving AI agents, payment gateways, e-commerce integrations, asynchronous flows, and AWS infrastructure.

Main focus areas:

• Backend services and business logic with Kotlin.
• Full-stack features with Next.js.
• Integrations with Dropi, Mercado Pago, Stripe, and Shopify.
• AWS deployments and operations using EKS, ECR, RDS, S3, SQS, IAM, and load balancers.
• Production monitoring and debugging with CloudWatch and Sentry.

Built backend APIs aligned with business logic across microservices, applying clean architecture, SOLID principles, layered design, interfaces, and abstractions to improve maintainability and scalability.

Main focus areas:

• Backend API development.
• Event-driven architecture.
• Publisher/subscriber communication patterns.
• Technical design and implementation decisions.

I'm looking for a role where I can contribute to software that is used in real environments, learn from strong engineering teams, and keep growing across backend, full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and production systems.

I'm especially interested in teams that value:

• Clean and maintainable architecture.
• Ownership and technical judgment.
• Reliable delivery.
• Production awareness.
• Continuous learning.
