Nick Aguilar · Lima, Peru

I build software people can rely on.

I'm a software engineer from Lima and Head of DevOps at iDBI. I work across cloud infrastructure, delivery pipelines, observability, and backend development. I like systems that are easy to follow and the quiet work that keeps a product running in practice.
