Work Experience

• Development Manager, TV Azteca

  Jul, 2025 - Present

  I lead a team of 3 developers on the digital content platform, combining management (project planning, requirements analysis, and solution design) with hands-on development.

  • Single-handedly designed and built, in ~3 weeks, 2 middleware services that centralize integration with 2 external service providers, encapsulating credentials and communication complexity, on a new microservices architecture: NestJS, Drizzle, Docker, an AWS SNS/SQS event bus, Fargate deployment, and idempotency, outbox, and resilient-cache patterns.

  • Break down complex requirements into simple, actionable tasks and own the team's project planning.

  • Safeguard code quality and security through code reviews, version upgrades, task automation, and proofs of concept.

  • Coordinate SEO initiatives, third-party service integrations, module development, and optimization of configurable content services.

  • Designed the GitLab CI/CD pipelines for the 2 middleware services, a Lambda-exposed event-capture application, and the new content admin, all integrated via APIs.

  • Built internal team tooling on my own initiative: GitHub metrics tracking, Google Lighthouse and CrUX (Chrome UX Report) metrics collectors, deploy-change detection on staging servers, automated AMP page validation, and bundle cleanup of unused resources.

  • Stack: Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, NestJS, Drizzle ORM, Docker, AWS SNS, AWS SQS, AWS Fargate, Amazon ECS, Amazon ECR, ElastiCache (Redis), AWS Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, Amazon Bedrock, GitLab CI/CD, LocalStack, CSS
