Summary

Linux enthusiast and back-end developer for a wide variety of business applications and industries. Particularly interested in micro services and containers and how to improve the back-end with that tools, with a passion for scripting and automate processes. I am working with Linux, Python, JSON, SQL, NoSQL, and bash on daily basis, mainly focused on REST API's and micro services

I have worked with several development teams as Scrum master, in charge of the whole process, and being part of the high-level decision making with the client, the PM and the PO.

With great understanding of the relationship between the software development cycle and the company's business model, we could make a better choice of milestones, priorities and investment of time, avoiding the risk of missing important deadlines.
