I build the internal platforms and multi-region cloud infrastructure that engineering teams ship on — 15+ years across finance, fintech, government, and media. That includes the AWS platform behind Colombia's first fully digital bank (99.999% availability SLO, multi-region DR) and a self-hosted LLM inference platform that kept regulated data in-house.
