Who I am

Gastón Gaitan

Back End Developer

Villa Crespo, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina

Profile Overview

I began my academic journey studying Translation while also dedicating myself to professional sports. However, I have always been drawn to engineering roles. Through my experiences, I gained the confidence to transition into Computer Science and pursued a degree in Information Technology at Universidad de Palermo.
I am also passionate about martial arts, having trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for nearly ten years. This discipline has shaped my mindset, instilling in me the perseverance and consistency required to excel as a professional.
With nearly four years of experience in technology-related roles, I have developed strong expertise in Python, AWS, Node.js, AI, LLMs, SQL, AWS, Linux, and Flutter, among other technologies.
A collaborative team player with professional-level English, I excel at identifying patterns to develop robust solutions that drive value for the organization.
