I'm a back-end engineer (with a strong focus on real DevOps and relevant fullstack experience) based in Argentina with a passion for building stuff, especially when it comes to automation, infrastructure and improving developer experience anywhere.

When I'm not online I'm probably hanging out with my wife and cats, playing drums or (gaming) with friends.
