ABOUT_ME

Full-stack engineer building scalable applications at enterprise and startup level. Currently at Walmart Chile optimizing e-commerce for international markets (CL, MX, CA, US), and co-founding Ekoru, a sustainable marketplace currently in active development, targeting a beta launch.

My background is unconventional - I started as a sound engineer working live events. When COVID-19 hit in 2020, the industry collapsed. I pivoted to web development out of necessity, teaching myself everything from HTML to microservices architecture. Years of intensive learning took me from zero to Software Engineer III at Walmart.

Passionate about clean architecture, GraphQL Federation, and building products that scale. Visited Toronto on my honeymoon last year and heading to Calgary this September to explore immigration opportunities - fell in love with Canada's tech ecosystem and quality of life.

When not coding: Playing guitar, tinkering with Raspberry Pi security projects, or planning the next adventure.

Currently seeking: Calgary-based roles. I'm pursuing permanent residence through the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP); my Express Entry CRS score of 351 is above Alberta's 300-point minimum.
