Experience

Designed the backend architecture for automated integrations across the financial and insurance platforms of one of Guatemala's largest insurance groups, enabling seamless end-to-end data flows governed by complex business rules.

  • Defined versioned REST APIs, data contracts, and database schemas to introduce new capabilities without touching or disrupting existing legacy production systems — maintaining zero downtime on critical insurance operations.
  • Engineered an intermediary orchestration layer connecting core legacy systems with modern external services, decoupling responsibilities and eliminating high-volume manual workflows across multiple operational departments.
  • Coordinated directly with Claims Operations, Call Center, and IT to capture and translate real-world operational processes into reliable, automated solutions at institutional scale.
  • Served as the sole technical authority in all vendor and business alignment sessions, owning architectural decisions and implementation strategy from initial design through production deployment.
  • Established architectural guidelines, quality standards, and development practices across backend, database, and integration layers.
