Professional Experience

Systems Engineer with over 8 years architecting high-traffic financial platforms, now building the developer platforms and AI workflows that engineering teams run on. Principal Engineer at YaVendio, working across a polyglot fleet of Rust, TypeScript, and Python services. Previously Technical Lead at Yape, where I led the design of microservices and event-driven systems serving millions of users within the BCP financial ecosystem. I work where distributed-systems rigor meets agentic AI: spec-driven development, multi-agent workflows, and platforms that make teams measurably faster.

   Principal Engineer

   YaVendio

   • Technical leadership of an engineering team responsible for multiple platform capabilities.
   • Built a self-updating developer portal aggregating documentation and OpenAPI specifications across 60+ internal services, with automated documentation-health scoring and SSO-gated access.
   • Designed an authenticated architecture-documentation platform with C4 modeling, validated in CI on every change.
   • Authored the organization’s Rust microservice scaffold — hexagonal architecture, persistence, observability bootstrap, and container-based integration testing — adopted as the fleet standard.
   • Introduced continuous performance benchmarking across three production services and codified it as an organization-wide engineering standard.
   • Contributor to and power user of the internal agentic AI harness — skills, subagents, and safety hooks for Claude-based workflows — used across the engineering organization.
   • Created ya-architecture-design, a Claude Code skill that declares a change’s architecture level before any code exists and applies the coupling ladder and the ten questions from my public software architecture atlas.
   • Daily delivery across a polyglot fleet of Rust, TypeScript, and Python services, spanning backend, frontend, and infrastructure.
