About //

Hey, I'm Daniel. I love software and everything involved in making it work — from Neural Networks and AI/ML pipelines to Distributed Systems and Cloud infrastructure, down to Mobile and Web UI.

A software engineer from Guadalajara, Mexico, currently in the San Francisco Bay Area. At MinIO, I built the Kubernetes Operator, management Console, and enterprise storage architecture that powers cloud-native deployments worldwide.

// EDU: Computer Technologies Engineering — ITESM

Outside of system design, I explore tech history, shoot film on my Leica, and rarely turn down a good technology conversation.
