Software & Security Engineer with 6+ years of experience building payment platforms, distributed systems, and secure cloud applications.

I enjoy owning systems end-to-end—from architecture and implementation to deployment and operations. My work has focused on designing reliable APIs, automating infrastructure, hardening services, and modernizing legacy systems.

Outside of work, I build projects in cybersecurity and AI because I learn best by creating real systems and understanding how they work under the hood.

• Building backend architectures, secure payment systems, and AI-powered applications.
• Exploring LLM agents, cloud-native patterns, and security automation.

Distributed systems, backend performance, API security, Node.js, Python, payment processing, and system design.

Application security • Cloud infrastructure • Observability • AI-powered developer tools • High-scale backend systems

• Komuna – Co-founded and built a platform that helped businesses in El Salvador digitize sales and payments, serving 15+ businesses and 300+ users.
• Cyclone – A safe ransomware simulation lab for defensive security research and learning.

⚡ Fun fact: I enjoy optimizing systems just as much as breaking them to understand how to make them stronger.
