Bio

Horizontal Tabs

English

I am a Senior Architecture and Software Development expert with more than 20 Years of experience in different business as Industry, Telco, Health Care, Banking, Digital Marketing, among others.

I advice multiple companies in their Business and Technology strategy, accelerating innovation and technology adoption.

My passion is to help customers to solve real problems with the right use of technology. Ranging from the Business Technology Strategy to Design and Human Dynamics. Transition to the cloud and integration of cross platform systems is a big part of it. In most of the cases, during that process, my work covers the interaction with multidisciplinary teams that include CxO, Engineering, Operations, and Development people.

Since very young I've been a fanatic of AI and embedded systems, Right now is a very exciting time for that. I apply the technology in many scenarios including, profiling, content analysis, predictive analysis amongst others.

I love to share knowledge, one way is being undergraduate and postgraduate professor in Software Architecture, Design and Development subjects. Some other ways are as a frequent speaker in tech conferences and regional technical communities.

I am Microsoft Regional Director for Bogota since 2004, one of ~150 global influencers who work closely with Microsoft to give them feedback on customers needs and insights of technology adoption.

I am AWS Ambassador, sharing knowledge and content related to Cloud adoption and practices in different scenarios like Webinars, Expositions and presentations in multiple geographies,

From once a month to multiple times a day

The Devops practice has become a new standard for software delivery acceleration, driven by digital transformation and disruption or by the cost and time to market presure. Many organization face a lot of difficulties to adapt and change their culture and processes. This session shows how to incrementally adopt the change using a realistic example.

Microservices - Best Practices for design and implementation

Moving from a monolithic/layered application architecture to a micro-services based architecture brings some important challenges, particularly with how micro services should be designed, implemented and the interaction/integration model between them. This session covers the top best practices to start the journey into the micro-services architectural style.

Elastic Stack as Application Performance Monitor Tool

There are a lot of different solutions in the market related to APM (Application Performance Monitoring), all of them, share similar requirements: handling massive volumes of information, correlation of events, log integration, etc. Elastic Stack provides a platform to handle massive volumes of information, and providing a near to real time performance on search/analysis of that information. One of the emerging use cases of it, among others, is the APM functionality. This session provides an introduction and practical examples of the use of Elastic Stack as an APM tool for applications built in many development languages and frameworks.

The cloud as an innovation enabler

Innovation inside the organizations faces a lot of challenges from perspectives like culture, people, leadership, strategy, technology and processes. Cloud adoption and consolidation enables new services and technologies to be integrated into the organization's products and services portfolio, allowing new user experiences inside and outside. This session covers some of the common scenarios where the cloud becomes an enabler to adopt new ways of work and new approaches to provide products and services to the customers.
