About Me

Cloud-Oriented Data & Analytics Professional

Hi, I’m a hardware, blockchain, data and technology enthusiast with over 10 years of experience helping businesses turn complex data into smart, scalable solutions. My journey has taken me across markets like Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile, where I’ve led analytics initiatives that drive strategy, performance, and growth. I specialize in blending analytics, development, and project management to create tools and systems that actually solve problems. Whether it’s building data pipelines, designing pricing models, or diving into Python and SQL to streamline operations—I love creating solutions that are both technically sound and business-relevant.

Lately, I’ve been focusing on cloud technologies (GCP, AWS), web3 and exploring how they can power the next generation of analytics and AI. I'm especially excited about the machine side of things in data centres, focusing on ML hardware and AI, and how they can be used to improve the efficiency and performance of these. Outside of work, I’m always learning—currently diving deeper into cloud development, web3, AI and how to build meaningful tech products. If you’re into bouldering, hardware, blockchain, data, tech, or building things that matter, we’ll probably get along.

About This Website

Made with Cloud in Mind.

This website is hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), leveraging a modern and scalable cloud architecture and meant as an cloud computing exercise based on The Cloud Resume Challenge Guidebook by Forrest Brazeal. It is a GCP hosted mirror to my original AWS hosted website, and uses GO language to create a serverless backend! Here's apeek behind the scenes:
Static Hosting: The site is hosted using Google Cloud Storage, ensuring fast, reliable, and cost-effective delivery of static content.
Content Delivery: To improve global performance and reduce latency, Google Cloud CDN serves as the Content Delivery Network (CDN), caching assets closer to visitors.
Secure Browsing: The site uses SSL encryption to protect your connection, ensuring secure data transmission.
Custom Domain: The domain is managed via GoDaddy, configured to point to the CloudFront distribution.
Visitor Counter: A simple and serverless visitor counter tracks visits in real time.
Serverless: A Google Cloud Function that updates and retrieves visit counts. A Google Cloud API Gateway acting as the interface between the website and backend services. A Google Cloud Storage bucket that stores the visitor count data. This architecture enables high performance, scalability, and a fully serverless backend—optimized for both developers and visitors alike.
