Lead Software Engineer · McKinney, Texas 🇺🇸 · Originally from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
I build backend systems, distributed services, and cloud-native applications — with a decade-plus of experience shipping production software. I'm passionate about open source, VoIP engineering, and making cloud infrastructure more accessible.
🚀 Featured Project — Floci
A fast, free, MIT-licensed AWS service emulator built with Quarkus and compiled to a native binary via GraalVM.
Floci is a lightweight alternative for local AWS development — no paywalled features. If you work with AWS locally, give it a try.
