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.
