Software engineer from Quito, Ecuador. I build backend systems, lead engineering teams, and lately spend a lot of time working with AI. Outside of work, I play guitar and make music.

The Journey

From a screwdriver to leading engineering teams.

01
2013 – 2017
The Tinkerer
It started with a screwdriver and curiosity. I spent my early years formatting hard drives, repairing neighbors' PCs, rooting Android phones, and flashing custom ROMs. That obsession with understanding how things work under the hood became the foundation of everything.
02
2017 – 2023
Software Engineering Student
I pursued a Software Engineering degree in Quito, Ecuador, where I built solid foundations in algorithms, design patterns, software architecture, databases, and collaborative development practices. University taught me not just how to code, but how to think as an engineer.
03
2019 – Present
Senior Engineer & Tech Lead
Over 6+ years working primarily with US-based companies, I've led engineering teams, owned high-impact features, designed scalable solutions, and grown alongside some truly great colleagues. Today I architect full-stack systems, manage multi-cloud infrastructure, and drive AI integration initiatives.
