I define myself as a curious and eclectic engineer: someone who has consistently followed technical depth wherever it led, even when that meant reinventing my path.

My background begins in Sound Engineering, where I started my career maintaining audio infrastructure at Canal 13 in Chile. A growing passion for network systems and open-source technologies (GNU/Linux in particular) eventually led me to pursue a second degree in Computer Engineering, turning what had started as a side interest into a core expertise.

As I completed that degree, I joined the ALMA Observatory. I started on the science side, as part of the team responsible for selecting which astronomical projects would receive observation time each year. Eager to go further, I transitioned into the computing department as a Testing Engineer, and from there progressed to leading the software team responsible for the telescope's control framework. Among the highlights of that chapter: I led the migration of the control framework from Europe to Chile, and our team delivered the software version that coupled ALMA to the Event Horizon Telescope — contributing to the first-ever image of a black hole. During this period I also completed a Master of Engineering in Industrial Engineering, and led a second team driving DevOps adoption internally, introducing containerization, observability, and automation across a number of previously manual processes.

I then joined the Data Observatory, where the mission was to democratize access to computing power and data across Chile. The work I'm most proud of from that period is the COVID-19 data repository we designed, built, and maintained for the Chilean Ministry of Science, Technology and Knowledge, subsequently recognized by the WHO as one of the most open data repositories in the world.

Following that, I joined Comscore, where I grew considerably as a DevOps Engineer and contributed to significant cloud migration efforts. At Sovos, I led a team focused on closing the gap between Development and Operations, reducing time to market and driving Kubernetes and cloud-native adoption across the organization.

At ZeroFox - a company with an engineering culture I genuinely admired - I served as both DevOps Engineer and Scrum Master for the DevSecOps team, with a focus on embedding security practices meaningfully into the delivery pipeline.

I currently work as an Infrastructure Engineer at Shiftmove, where I've encountered technical and personal challenges I didn't fully anticipate — including building a new life in a new country and living in a new language, which has been as rewarding as it has been demanding.

Since 2019, I have also served as CTO and Software Ninja at EmbedX (formerly Perk.cl), a Chilean insurtech startup dedicated to simplifying and democratizing access to insurance.
