I am a Software Engineer with a focus on .NET development, specializing in back-end solutions. I have achieved seniority in my field, developing expertise in C#, SQL Server, and the entire .NET framework ecosystem. In addition to my development skills, I hold a master's degree in AI and Big Data. This combination of software engineering and data science enables me to create robust, scalable, and intelligent systems that drive real value for businesses. I am passionate about continuous learning and thrive in collaborative environments where innovative thinking and a focus on quality are valued.
I am passionate about science and technology; I am a natural researcher when it comes to engineering and development. I dedicate my free time to studying and learning new skills every day through platforms like Platzi, YouTube, and the Internet in general, which make it much easier. I have always worked in technological areas and have acquired skills that allow me to propose solutions oriented toward the new technological world we live in, a new world where experience and talent matter more than a degree, a new world where technology is an **extremely important** part of the future development of humanity. I have been a freelancer on two occasions, and this has allowed me to live invaluable experiences that have given me the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. I am a responsible, disciplined, and creative person, with a knack for working in teams and solving problems efficiently. I fully embrace the challenges that may be presented to me, as they allow me to learn new things, and I love that. I avoid the phrase "It can't be done" at all costs because if it already exists, it's because someone else has done it, and as long as it doesn't break the laws of physics, there is surely a way to achieve it. Although I do not yet have an engineering degree, I undoubtedly consider myself one, as I have always stood out for being proactive, efficient, and having the ability to propose ingenious solutions.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over six years of experience in building scalable, high-performance applications. At PrismHR, I led the development of a mission-critical notification system, optimized frontend performance, and implemented NLP-powered HR automation using LLMs and RAG architecture, improving data processing efficiency by 85%. Previously, at Microsoft, I developed large-scale distributed services for Office 365, integrating transformer-based models to enhance document processing. My expertise spans Python, Node.js, React, TensorFlow, Snowflake, and AWS, with a strong focus on system architecture, performance optimization, and mentoring teams.
