Engineers led at peak

I'm a Software Development Engineer Tech Lead at Interco, shipping Generative AI products from whiteboard to production. I specialize in bridging complex engineering challenges and real business outcomes — owning the full lifecycle from architecture to deployment.

Co-creator of Alerta Vecino, the largest neighborhood-security network in Mexico. Currently deep in RAG pipelines, LangChain orchestration, and Anthropic Claude integrations at scale.

I write the code — but these days Claude Code orchestrates a good chunk of it with me. This site itself was built collaborating with Claude, agent to agent.

RDS + pgvector: búsqueda semántica sin salir de Postgres (y cuándo no conviene)

No necesitas una base de datos vectorial dedicada para casi todos los casos de RAG reales. Cómo pgvector mete búsqueda por significado dentro de Postgres, cuándo HNSW le gana a IVFFlat, y un pipeline de RAG agéntico completo con Lambda.

AWS SQS: el buffer que desacopla tu sistema (y cuándo no usarlo)

No es magia, es una cola con entrega at-least-once. Cómo SQS desacopla productores de consumidores, por qué los reintentos automáticos no son gratis, y un patrón completo de API-detrás-de-cola de principio a fin.
