Summary

I'm a senior Software Engineer with a strong background as backend developer. 8+ years of experience working in several frameworks and
languages with a strong focus on OOP: C#, .NET Framework, .NET Core, T-SQL and MSSQL Server.
For the past 4 years I've been working on distributed teams using Agile methodologies. I like the complexity of building backend structures and managing data.

**Project:** Transcoding * Participated in a vertical unit in charge of the design and development of new requirements. * Maintained of the transcode cloud solution, a backend system to automatically transform a master video file into several layers and codecs to be streamed in the video platform. **Biggest challenge:** The design, development and implementation of a new autoscaling strategy to minimize the costs of running instances. With the new version, costs were reduced at least 50% as the EC2 instances were started only when needed, and instance types (t2 and c5 families) were chosen according to the video file properties, allowing to use smaller (and cheaper) instances. **Tech Stack:** AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Elastic Transcoder, CloudFormation, SNS, SQS, ECS, EC2, CloudWatch, API Gateway); C# (.NET Core 1.x, 2.x, NET Framework 4.6); AWS SDK 2.x, 3.x; SQL Server; MySQL; CI/CD; VSTF; TDD; Unit testing; Dependency Injection; Agile/Scrum
