A snapshot of what I'm up to. Last updated: April 2026.

location.txt

Based in San José, Costa Rica. Working remotely, open to fully distributed teams or relocation for the right opportunity.

My timezone is CST (UTC-6).

building.txt

This site: dachava.dev. Started as a portfolio experiment, turned into a full digital home with a blog, project archive, and now a job fair card. Still adding things.

On the side: digging into cloud security tooling, IAM policy design, and zero trust network architecture. Less tutorial, more hands-on lab work.

looking_for.txt

Backend or cloud infrastructure engineering roles. Most interested in teams working on distributed systems, DevOps pipelines, or security-adjacent infrastructure.

Ideally somewhere I can own things end to end. Small teams or platform engineering orgs where the work actually ships and my time has value.
