About

Systems Engineering student at Universidad de Antioquia with a strong mathematical foundation and 4+ years building backend systems, databases, and data pipelines. I specialize in Python, Neo4j, and applied AI — from ontology-based search engines to AI-powered content generation platforms. Competitive programming champion and multiple math olympiad winner. I build systems that are reliable, well-tested, and solve real problems. Bilingual English/Spanish (C1). Currently seeking opportunities where I can apply my backend and AI skills to meaningful technical challenges.
