Who Am I?

As a Solutions Architect experienced in DevOps, I‘m passionate about creating cutting-edge software using event-driven architectures. I‘m currently immersed in production-grade AWS workflows, leveraging DevSecOps best practices to drive innovation.

Likewise, I‘m passionate about sharing my knowledge in fun ways and learning the art of "how everything actually works", driven by a vision of a better future thanks to technology. I‘m eager to be part of the ongoing transformation of technology and its interesting impact on our daily lives.
