Jose Caceres

I’m a software engineer passionate about developing high-quality code, mainly in Go and Rust. I’m also curious about Javascript, Web Assembly technologies, and systems programming in C.

In addition to designing and implementing highly responsive server-side software, I have vast experience designing APIs that allow communication between the front end and the back end, mostly based on gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and JSON.

One plus I can offer is more than ten years of experience working with Unix/Linux systems. I am not an expert, but I can set up and run Docker and Kubernetes clusters to automate deployments in production or development environments with complex stacks like elastic-search, Fluentd, Jaeger, Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, Etcd, Jenkins, Nats, Kafka, Kibana, Grafana, Devpod, and Bazel.

Currently following the AI hype I’m investigating how I can use my background in programming to create incredible things with emerging AI tools.

I would like to mention that I also have experience working under agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban and I love teamwork.
