About me

Software engineer in Bogotá, with a Computer Science degree from Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

Software Engineer with experience in full-stack development, automation of high-volume manual operational processes, and software architecture design oriented toward extensibility.

I care about design that survives change: extensible architectures, clear boundaries between modules, and technical decisions another developer can pick up without rebuilding the context from scratch.
