Cloud Architecture & DevOps from Guatemala
Jacobo Gonzalez
I design resilient AWS platforms and delivery pipelines that help teams ship with confidence.
I work across cloud architecture, automation, and infrastructure delivery with a strong networking foundation. My focus is building systems that are scalable, practical to operate, and clear for teams to own after launch.
All 12 AWS certifications — a rare achievement held by fewer than 100 people globally.
About
About
I am a cloud and DevOps engineer with more than a decade of hands-on experience across infrastructure, networking, and IT operations.
Today I help organizations modernize on AWS by shaping landing zones, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and container platforms that are reliable in production and realistic for teams to operate.
I enjoy turning messy technical constraints into clear execution plans, mentoring others, and building systems that keep working well after launch. Based in Guatemala, I collaborate comfortably with distributed teams across the Americas.
