Sebastián Iturralde
Full-Stack & Cloud Engineer with 15+ years experience scaling web infrastructure. Currently building scalable AWS apps, CI/CD pipelines, and Jamstack platforms at BUOY.
Building software is a lot like writing a story. You need structured architecture, zero bloat, and a seamless path for the user. Whether engineering real-time dispatch systems or indexing data for AI search engines, the goal is always the same: strip away the technical noise so a fast, functional experience remains.
