Boring infrastructure for serious problems.

Engineering Manager @ Covalynt · AWS UG Mixtli Leader · Cholula, México 🇻🇪🇲🇽

I build and operate cloud platforms for environments where mistakes are expensive. Sensitive data, compliance, audit trails, customers where a compliance failure isn't just a fine, it's a headline.

Originally from Venezuela, based in Mexico, with a regional Latin American perspective on cloud.

What I write and talk about

• 🔧 Boring infrastructure — choosing predictable, well-understood technology in a world that rewards novelty.
• 🛡 Cloud engineering in regulated environments — SOC 2, ISO 27001, CyberEssentials+, audit trails, PII at scale.
• 👥 Engineering leadership — the quiet decisions that compound.
• 🌎 Cloud from the Latin American tech diaspora — billing in USD, cross-country on-call, hiring senior talent across the region.

Currently

• Leading the Infrastructure team at Covalynt.
• Organizing meetups with AWS UG Mixtli.
• Writing in English, speaking in Spanish.
• AWS Certified · Working primarily with GCP/GKE at work, AWS in personal projects.
