ABOUT_ME

Full-stack engineer with 5+ years building scalable applications at enterprise and startup level. Currently at Walmart Chile optimizing e-commerce for international markets (CL, MX, CA, US), and co-founding Ekoru, a sustainable marketplace launching April 2026.

My background is unconventional - I started as a sound engineer working live events. When COVID-19 hit in 2020, the industry collapsed. I pivoted to web development out of necessity, teaching myself everything from HTML to microservices architecture. Four years of intensive learning took me from zero to Software Engineer III at Walmart.

Passionate about clean architecture, GraphQL Federation, and building products that scale. Recently visited Toronto on my honeymoon, exploring immigration opportunities - fell in love with Canada's tech ecosystem and quality of life.

When not coding: Playing guitar, tinkering with Raspberry Pi security projects, or planning the next adventure.

Currently seeking: Canadian opportunities with visa sponsorship in Vancouver or Toronto.
