I'm the Engineering Manager at Covalynt, where I lead the infrastructure team that operates the identity and data science platform used by the legal teams at Fortune 500 corporations in their most complex litigation. This infrastructure runs under SOC 2 Type 2 and handles data of millions of people under direct legal scrutiny.

Before Covalynt I spent more than five years leading infrastructure for a SaaS provider serving 4 of the 5 largest US banks, operating under SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, CyberEssentials+, and the security standards of major US banking.

I've been building platforms that have to hold for more than a decade. Originally from Venezuela, currently based in Mexico, my perspective on cloud is shaped by having operated infrastructure across multiple Latin American countries. My thesis: the most cost-effective technical decisions are rarely the newest. I defend "boring infrastructure" because I've seen too many teams consumed by the technical debt of recent choices that didn't deliver value.

AWS Certified. Leader of AWS User Group Mixtli in Cholula, Mexico. I speak in both English and Spanish about cloud engineering in regulated environments, cloud architecture decisions, technical leadership, and the realities of running cloud operations from outside the US.

Esta infraestructura corre bajo SOC 2 Type 2 y maneja datos de millones de personas bajo escrutinio legal directo.

Antes de Covalynt pasé más de cinco años liderando la infraestructura para una empresa SaaS que servía a 4 de los 5 bancos más grandes de Estados Unidos, cumpliendo con SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, CyberEssentials+ y los estándares de seguridad de la banca más exigente del mundo.

Llevo más de una década construyendo plataformas que tienen que aguantar. Venezolano de origen, radicado en México, mi perspectiva sobre cloud está cruzada por haber operado infraestructura desde distintos países latinoamericanos. Mi tesis: las decisiones técnicas más rentables raramente son las más nuevas. Defiendo el "boring infrastructure" porque he visto demasiados equipos consumidos por la deuda técnica de elecciones recientes que no aportaron valor.

AWS Certified. Líder del AWS User Group Mixtli en Cholula, México. Hablo en español e inglés sobre platform engineering en entornos regulados, decisiones de arquitectura cloud, liderazgo técnico, y las particularidades de operar cloud desde fuera de Estados Unidos.
