I'm a back-end engineer (with relevant fullstack experience and a strong focus on real DevOps) 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.
