Backend, data and applied artificial intelligence.

I’m a software engineer. I build backend services, connect systems and work with AI agents and RAG architectures. I care about solutions that serve the business and are straightforward for the next developer to maintain.

A closer look at a project

Capstone project · Software Engineering

Information security management

A system for organizing assets, assessing risks and tracking cybersecurity incidents. Built with React and Django, with traceability and report generation integrated into the workflow.

What we built and how

Operations: Critical asset and incident records, risk matrices and semi-automated regulatory reports for Chile’s National Cybersecurity Agency (ANCI).
Architecture: React frontend and Django REST API with PostgreSQL. Docker and Nginx keep the application separate from its deployment infrastructure.
Context: Audit and traceability workflows referencing ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27005, NIST SP 800-61 and Chile’s cybersecurity framework law.
My contribution: Architecture design, data modeling, and functional and non-functional testing as part of a team working with Scrum.
