Backend Tech Lead | Entrepreneurial Soul | Building High-Impact Engineering Teams

I am a backend developer with an entrepreneurial soul and a career defined by ownership and long-term commitment. I love getting involved in projects from the ground up, especially in SME and startup environments where agility and direct impact are the norm. My approach is not just technical; I immerse myself in the product and business strategy to ensure technology is a real enabler of growth.
Throughout my career, I have transitioned from a execution-focused programmer to leading technical teams, discovering along the way my passion for mentorship. I firmly believe in shared growth and take pride in having helped colleagues reach their next professional level, maintaining solid relationships based on trust and technical respect.
Currently, I lead the backend team at Grupo Gestionet, where I continue to apply my experience in scalable architecture and process optimization, always with an eye on how technology can solve complex problems elegantly and efficiently.
