About Me

I'm a Mexican software engineer based in Hong Kong. Over the past decade, I've designed high-throughput payment systems, led cross-regional engineering teams, and migrated monolithic platforms to microservices. I specialize in Go, cloud-native architectures, and building systems that stay reliable under real-world traffic. I care about clean code, pragmatic architecture, and mentoring the people I work with.
