About

I’m a passionate and results-driven engineering leader with over 15 years of experience building scalable security products across identity, cloud, and SaaS domains. At Permiso, I lead cross-functional teams to design and deliver cutting-edge solutions in the identity security space, leveraging technologies like AWS Lambda, Kubernetes, Terraform, GraphQL, and more. My journey spans hands-on fullstack development and architecture to strategic engineering leadership. I specialize in building secure, resilient, and performant applications in high-scale environments — with deep expertise in JavaScript, Python, Node.js, Typescript, React, and cloud-native systems on AWS and GCP. I thrive in startup and high-growth environments where innovation meets execution. I'm always eager to connect with fellow builders, technical leaders, and organizations solving meaningful problems in cloud and identity security.
