About

Engineer at the intersection of medicine & code

I'm a biomedical engineer turned software developer with around eight effective years shipping software and hardware across the medical, financial, and SaaS worlds — from Goldman Sachs market-risk systems to bespoke imaging devices for clinics.

My core is Java, Spring Boot, and Micronaut. What I care about most is backend architecture, security, communication protocols, and deployment — CI/CD, containers, and Kubernetes. I lean DevOps: I want to own the pipeline and the infrastructure, not just the code. Frontend (React) I handle pragmatically while my focus stays on the system behind it.

I live a nomadic life out of Mérida & the Riviera Maya and spend my time off underwater — I'm an Advanced PADI scuba diver and AIDA 2 freediver, training for deeper apnea dives along the cenotes and open water of the Caribbean coast.

A multi-node cluster and a full self-hosted stack — reachable from anywhere over a private mesh — where I test, break, and learn new technology as a hobby.
