About me

I am an Engineering Physicist graduated from Universidad Nacional de Colombia. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

My focus lies in backend development. I have successfully developed and maintained microservices and distributed systems at different companies. My expertise spans various technologies including Python (Django, Flask), Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, and several AWS tools (ECS, SNS, SQS, API Gateway, S3, Lambda, Event Bridge). Golang is my primary language, and I possess extensive knowledge in this area.
