I design, migrate and secure scalable architectures on AWS. I specialize in backend development, complex database migrations, resilient microservices and integrating AI-driven solutions — such as RAG — to automate complex data analysis.

// About me

About me

I'm a Systems & Computer Engineering graduate from Universidad de los Andes, with experience building end-to-end cloud solutions in fast-paced startup and corporate environments.

Systems design is what drives me: from architecting information platforms from scratch on AWS to leading critical database migrations with zero downtime. I enjoy bringing AI to real problems, like automating the analysis of financial documents with RAG.

Away from the keyboard you'll find me discovering new cafés, training at the gym or learning languages. I love musicals — I've taken theater classes — and, honestly, technology is both my career and my hobby: I'm always exploring what's next.

Hackathon · 2026

Moirai

Digital health twin built in 36 hours at Platanus Hack 26 Bogotá (Simulations track). It reads 9 biomarkers from a blood test, measures biological age with the PhenoAge clock and runs ten thousand paired Monte Carlo trajectories over ten years to recommend which habit buys you the most years per unit of effort.

AndesTrack

Web platform that connects your Garmin account to analyze the correlation between health habits and academic performance. Born to help balance university life, it integrates academic and personal data into a single tool that improves both results and well-being. Co-authored undergraduate thesis, advised by Mario Sánchez Puccini and published in the Séneca institutional repository. Built with Django and MySQL, deployed on Linux with Gunicorn.

Student Representative

Representing a constituency of 1,000+ students, my co-representative and I redefined the role at DISC Uniandes in 2024: we created "Un café Java con..." — 13 live interviews with department professors, now a podcast on Spotify —, I coordinated the design, quotation, production and official sale of the department's current hoodies, we organized the Turing Cup (sports and esports tournaments with 150+ participants) and the DISC Olympics of technical challenges, and I led DISC Week with a 20-volunteer team — always bridging students and academic leadership with data-driven feedback.

IEEEXtreme 17.0

Competed in IEEE's global programming competition (17,000+ participants) with team CabrasRecursivas — October 2023.

NVIDIA Certification · Anomaly Detection

Certificate of Competency in “Applications of AI for Anomaly Detection” from NVIDIA, earned at AI WEEK 2026 (October 2026): applied AI techniques to detect anomalous behavior in data, in a workshop hosted by NVIDIA, SoftServe, Universidad de los Andes and Escuela de Ingeniería de Antioquia.

Platanus Hack 26 · Bogotá

36-hour hackathon with 100+ highly skilled participants (August 2026). In a multidisciplinary team we built Moirai, a digital health twin for the Simulations track, with everyone contributing across development, architecture, design and concept.
