About

I have 2+ years of professional experience building software. I currently work remotely as a Development Lead at Coordenadas.co, where I started as a Full Stack Developer in September 2025; before that I was a freelance Junior Backend Engineer for Sibartech Technology SAS, running Django, FastAPI and PostgreSQL in production.

At Coordenadas I built Bikans end to end: a payroll and tax withholding platform, in production with two-factor authentication, where employee data is entered once instead of being typed into two tools. I also build plugins and integrations for U.S. clients and maintain the infrastructure on a Linux server with Docker, Coolify and Traefik.

I'm in my 10th semester of Systems Engineering at Universidad de San Buenaventura. My co-authored thesis is a multi-agent system that detects IDN homograph phishing domains. I also built the Content Engine, a LangGraph agent that drafts the posts on this blog and publishes nothing without my approval.
