About

Professional Profile

Systems engineer and Enterprise Software Architecture specialist with a career since 2009 across public entities and technology companies. I design distributed systems, integration architectures and cloud solutions. Since 2025 I bring Codex and Claude Code into my own and client projects, with agents and context organized per project. I also build integrations that let AI agents interact with applications in a controlled way.

My focus: robust integration architecture, governed data access and AI agents that operate with identity, permissions and auditing.
