A public utilities regulator with blockchain traceability. Two portals for the Chilean Congress. Computer vision to detect road defects. A public-safety platform for local governments. And infrastructure security at the largest e-commerce company in the region. Outside of work: my own tools, mentoring, and eight years co-organising technical communities.
Where the software has run
Backend Developer · 1 yr 11 mos
Go, Python and Cloud. High-availability REST APIs on Fury, the company's internal framework, plus cross-cutting cybersecurity work across the infrastructure.
URL security analysis
A system integrated with VirusTotal that takes a URL, checks it against the service's detection engines and returns a risk verdict across four levels: Safe, Low, Medium y Critical.
Rules engine for access control
A simple rules engine for managing and controlling access through allowlists. Requests come in both through the engine and as tickets in Shield, the internal access-management tool.
Allowlist cleanup on AWS · leadership role
Led the revalidation and cleanup of allowlists with no active traffic on AWS. Every permission rule that survives unused is open attack surface and operational cost: the project identified which ones no longer received traffic and retired them, improving both the security and the efficiency of the cloud infrastructure.
MercadoLibre's internal platform
Design, refactoring and implementation of high-availability REST APIs using Fury, the company's internal framework.
Cross-team vulnerability auditing
Auditing and actively reviewing vulnerabilities across different company projects to ensure compliance with internal cybersecurity standards. A cross-cutting role, not limited to a single team.
Backend Developer · 1 yr 6 mos
Node.js, TypeScript, Python, AWS and Azure. Eleven projects in digital government, regulation and public infrastructure across the region.
FUNDING
Every project in this period was funded by the Inter-American Development Bank.
Public Utilities Regulatory Authority · Costa Rica
A project to strengthen the data system of Costa Rica's public utilities regulator. The API signs and publishes records onto a blockchain network so that the open data the agency releases is verifiable and tamper-proof for any citizen.
IDB-funded · operation CR-T1219-P002
National Congress · Chile
The official digital platform of Chile's National Congress, built to connect citizens directly with the country's legislative process. It is the modernised successor to the old “Senador Virtual”: anyone can vote and comment on bills currently under discussion.
congresovirtual.clOpen Government Action Plan · Chile
A portal born out of a commitment in the Open Government Action Plan, aimed at making legislative information easier for citizens to reach. The project includes an architecture diagram and its own API.
Inter-American Development Bank · regional
A tool that identifies defects in road and highway pavement, as well as vertical and horizontal signage, using computer vision models. The results feed metrics for road maintenance planning, with the goal of reducing both maintenance costs and the cost of the signage inventory.
Web application on top of the inference engine
An installable version of the tool, with its own interface and user and task management. Video processing is heavy, so the analysis does not run inside the HTTP request: it is queued and resolved in the background.
Inter-American Development Bank · Latin America and the Caribbean
A digital tool built on artificial intelligence and data analysis that helps local governments across the region manage and improve their public safety plans.
UNWTO · Latin America and the Caribbean · Jun–Oct 2023
A pioneering tool that continuously and systematically collects, organises, analyses, updates and disseminates the region's tourism legislation, both what is in force and what is still being drafted.
Single window for funding calls · technical proposal
A complete redesign of a platform connecting citizens with Science, Technology and Innovation funding calls: scholarships, loans, research grants and co-financing. Aimed at entrepreneurs, students, researchers and companies of every size.
The problem with the previous system
Adding a single question to a form meant editing multiple HTML files, adjusting several database tables and modifying backend functions. Any visual improvement was blocked by the architecture itself.
What the redesign proposed
Permissions and relational service model
Diagnosis and redesign of the permission system for task creation. When building a task inside a product, the services section hid items that could actually solve the user's problem but were only reachable with edit privileges.
Operations and security for IDB sites
Handover and ongoing operation of the IDB's estate of WordPress sites, including defining the maintenance processes that had not existed until then.
Citizen reporting platform · Paraguay
A digital platform where citizens file reports online and track their progress, part of the same IDB-funded digital government programme that covers the rest of the projects from this period.
Fullstack Developer · 1 yr 5 mos
Vue.js, Node.js and AWS. Production sites and tools for infrastructure operators and industrial brands across the region, supporting the coordinator on design and coding, bug fixing, technical performance monitoring and gathering user feedback.
Bogotá · Colombia
The public site of Colombia's main airport and one of the largest passenger and cargo hubs in Latin America. The work covered the portal, the flights and departures board, and the terminal's directory of shops and restaurants.
Lima · Peru
The site of Lima's international airport, the main gateway into Peru and a connecting hub for the west coast of South America. Includes the passenger section and flight lookup.
Interactive tool · Colombia
An energy savings calculator for refrigerators, inside the “Haceb en Casa” section. Haceb is one of Colombia's most established home appliance companies, founded in Medellín in 1940.
Product catalogue · Colombia
The products section of Pintuco's site, the country's best-known paint brand, founded in 1945 and present in ten markets across the region.
Corporate site
Web development for the client Casa Magna, part of the portfolio of projects handled during this period.
Backend Developer · 1 year
Node.js, React, Python, MongoDB and Flask. Live streaming platforms with a control centre, chat and interactive activities. The year in-person events went virtual overnight.
Homeowner association meetings
A platform that moves homeowner association meetings into the digital space, solving exactly what makes an in-person meeting hard: counting the quorum, voting without ambiguity, and leaving a record of what was agreed.
Colgate Professional · February 2021
An interactive microsite in Colgate Professional's corporate style, serving as a streaming portal and biosafety resource centre for Colombia's dental community. In the middle of the pandemic, the content had a very concrete purpose: helping practices reopen with proper protocols.
Virtual event · 14 March 2021
The platform for the Nano X1 virtual launch event, with a registration and entry flow designed responsive from the outset.
Virtual event

Pension and severance fund · Colombia
Backend improvements for Protección, a pension and severance fund manager headquartered in Medellín, part of Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana and one of the largest in the country by number of members. An environment where data correctness and traceability are not optional.
ERP Solutions Developer
Technology consultancy in Colombia. A role that combined ERP development, server administration and a refresh of the company's identity.
Community edition · January to July 2019
