Engineering Leader | 15+ Years Exp | Software Architecture & AI Systems
Engineering leader with 15+ years building software and the systems that make teams productive, based in Argentina 🇦🇷. I'm always open to interesting IC and staff/principal roles where I can keep my hands close to the code, design resilient architectures, and orchestrate intelligent workflows.
While I focus on trade-offs and architecture over specific syntax, here is the core stack I leverage to build scalable systems:
- Languages & Ecosystems:
- Backend & Infrastructure: Designing distributed systems, event-driven architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and robust observability.
- Architecture Philosophy: Pragmatic design, evolutionary architecture, simplicity over cleverness, and fast feedback loops.
- Software Architecture & Distributed Systems: Designing microservices, high-throughput APIs, and data pipelines that stay maintainable as the organization and traffic scale.
- AI & Agentic Workflows: Orchestrating autonomous AI agents, integrating LLMs into production systems, and building context-aware automation patterns.
- Polyglot Engineering: Leveraging the right tool for the job—whether it's the raw performance of Go, the enterprise reliability of Java, or the rapid AI prototyping capabilities of Python and TypeScript.
- Code is a liability. The best line of code is often the one you don't write.
- Feedback loops win. Short cycles — in tests, in deploys, in design reviews — beat long ones, every time.
- Teams scale software. Tooling, docs, and shared conventions compound.
- Boring tech, when it fits. Reach for novel only when proven tech genuinely hurts.
- Operational excellence is a feature. Reliability, performance, and clarity are part of "done."
- Multi-agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI) and AI-augmented developer experience.
- Advanced patterns in event-driven architectures and data consistency.
- Edge runtimes and optimizing the boundary between autonomous agents and core services.
