Software Engineer
Platzi
 
I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Platzi with 6+ years building scalable, low-latency architectures that serve millions of students globally. As Lead Cloud Engineer and Cloud Architect, I've led the transformation of Platzi's infrastructure from monolithic to edge-first, specializing in serverless architectures, Kubernetes orchestration, and innovative edge computing solutions. I'm a passionate Cloudflare evangelist and early adopter who has made Workers a core part of Platzi's technology stack, and I use it extensively for my personal projects. My expertise spans Python, Rust, TypeScript, and cloud-native technologies, with a unique perspective on bridging traditional infrastructure with modern edge computing. Recently, I've been exploring AI/RAG implementations and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with serverless architectures. My speaking experience includes Django MiniConf Venezuela. As a former Microsoft Student Partner and Imagine Cup national winner (2013), I combine deep technical knowledge with the ability to inspire and educate. Based in Colombia, I'm committed to Platzi's mission of transforming lives through education while advancing the state of cloud infrastructure in Latin America and beyond.
