Santiago Andres Ramirez
Cloud DevOps & Python Developer
Profile
With 5 years of experience in the software industry, I possess an advanced skill set in software development. My expertise extends to the application of principles and guides such as SOLID, DDD (Domain-Driven Design), Clean Code, as well as design and architecture patterns. I consistently maintain a focus on best security practices according to OWASP standards.
My experience goes beyond just development, it extends to areas like systems architecture and DevOps, where my discipline and enthusiasm for continuous learning have allowed me to excel. I specialize in automating and optimizing processes, showcasing proficiency in technical documentation and C4 diagramming. This skill has been crucial in clarifying and effectively communicating the architecture and design of systems across a range of projects.
I have contributed to numerous successful projects, including cloud-based, real-time, asynchronous, and serverless architectures, using technologies such as FastApi, Flask, Django, Graphql, Node, and C++ for the backend, and Vue. js, React, Angular, and Tailwind for the frontend. My experience in implementing and deploying distributed systems, employing cloud services and serverless approaches, coupled with my proficiency in real-time systems using sockets, has significantly improved the efficiency and scalability of the applications I have developed.

Cloud Devops Junior
Feb 2022 - April 2024
Siigo SAS.
I worked here for two years, where I have taken the lead on some automation initiatives. This included the creation of tools oriented towards managing infrastructure costs, extracting data from Azure DevOps, Harness, GitHub and Datadog. Notably, I actively participated in a ci/cd migration, transitioning from Azure Devops to Harness and Giithub. Our approach includes employing templates for different types of services: microservices, microfrontends and monolith. I played a crucial role in coding extensively for these templates. Simultaneously, for this same project I simplified the migration process for developers by writing automation. This automation specifically targeted the migration of each pipeline from Azure DevOps., migrating 1500 pipelines successfully. I have worked with Terraform, Kubernetes and Virtual Machines, among others.

Namtrik Development
I crafted a signing platform created from scratch using Django, incorporating middlewares and backends for AWS Cognito authentication. I seamlessly integrated AWS services like Dynamo, S3, Rekognition, and IAM. The backend services were powered by a Graphql API, and I devised a multi-step signature gateway flow using sockets. This process involved personal data validation, OTP verification, facial recognition with AWS, culminating in the final signature. I developed a Vue.js frontend for this signing process.
