A little context: most people know me as Geraldinho.
I focus on getting a little better every day.
Computer Science and Mathematics at Texas State University. Software Engineering intern at JPMorganChase. I enjoy designing backend systems that prioritize performance, reliability, and maintainability.
See workAbout Me
I'm a software engineer focused on backend engineering, distributed systems, and developer infrastructure. Over the past few years, I've worked across enterprise fintech, cloud platforms, and applied computer vision research, building software that solves real operational problems.
Most recently, I started a Software Engineering internship with JPMorganChase's Payments Technology team, where I developed an internal tool for tracking API deployments across environments. The platform aggregates deployment metadata from AWS, integrates with internal artifact repositories, and gives engineers a centralized view of deployed services.
