Hello, I am Ruben.
A Lead Software Engineer focused on backend & infrastructure. My focus is on delivering scalable, high-quality systems to meet key business objectives.
About Me
Detail-oriented and driven Lead Software Engineer, with a strong focus on backend development and infrastructure optimization. I specialize in building scalable and reliable systems, optimizing database performance, and implementing efficient CI/CD pipelines.
My favorite part of engineering is designing systems that are both resilient and maintainable. I thrive in environments where technical challenges align with business goals.
When I’m not coding, I enjoy playing video games 🎮, watching movies 🎬, and exploring new topics. I am currently learning Go programming language and always looking to expand my skill set.
🐱 I like cats and quiet mornings with coffee. 📚 I like books — check out what I’m currently reading on Goodreads. 🏋️ I also make time for the gym to stay sharp both mentally and physically. 🖥️
