About

I’m a senior full-stack and backend engineer. Most of my work sits behind the interface: REST and GraphQL APIs, service-to-service communication, asynchronous workflows, and the authentication and authorization that holds them together.

For the last three years I’ve worked through Encora on GoDaddy products — React and Next.js surfaces used in global markets, backed by Go and Python services inside a large AWS microservice estate. I like the whole loop: technical design, implementation, tests, and the 2am production question of why a queue is backing up.

I’m finishing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the National University of Engineering, where I also did my BS in Computer Science.

Primary languages: Python 6y · Go 4y · TypeScript
Usually working in: FastAPI, Django, NestJS, GraphQL, Next.js, AWS
Based in: Lima, Peru — working remotely
