Jay M Gonzalez

Senior DevOps Engineer

I make your systems work for your team and customers.

About

Back in 2013 I developed my fist website for a small advertising agency. Since then, I’ve been helping big insurance companies implement their analytic software, work for several high street brands on how to improve their online sales, worked for a start-up that was aquired by a big corporation, learned how to build software, have contributed to open source, and created my own company to offer my services as a freelancer.

My main focus these days is building pipelines and automations. I work on infrastructure and backend systems that help deliver seamless user experiences. I most enjoy building software in the sweet spot where user experience and engineering meet — things that are useful and easy to use but are also built well under the hood. In my free time, I like to play with AI, build side projects and, dream about becoming a successfull SaaS founder.

When I’m not at the computer, I’m working out, reading, walking in nature, dancing bachata or eating out with my girlfriend.
