About Me
Hi! My name is Iñaqui Paladino Bravo, I'm 23 years old, and I'm from Tandil, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I am a Systems Engineer specializing in backend and cloud-native architectures. I have experience designing and deploying event-driven systems on AWS using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and serverless patterns, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and cost-efficiency.
Currently, I design and operate backend systems that process large volumes of data for automation and decision-making. I possess a holistic view of the software lifecycle, actively participating from requirements analysis to implementation and support in production environments.
I am looking to grow in high-performance engineering environments with a strong culture, where technical depth and ownership are core values for building robust solutions.
Experience
Freelance Cloud Engineer
Autonomously designed and deployed a serverless pipeline on AWS that fully automated the client's document processing workflow, eliminating ~5 hours of daily manual data entry. The architecture is event-driven: a secure webhook (HMAC-SHA256) receives documents, which flow through an asynchronous pipeline built with SQS, Lambda, and DynamoDB featuring idempotent processing and automatic failure recovery via DLQ. For data extraction, I integrated Amazon Textract (OCR) with deterministic validation logic to ensure transactional integrity. All infrastructure is provisioned with Terraform, enforcing least-privilege IAM policies and secrets management with SSM. I implemented full observability with structured logging and custom CloudWatch metrics for proactive error detection.
Data & Backend Engineer
I am currently part of a working group at ISISTAN where we design, develop, and operate a backend and information system focused on decision-making. My role covers the entire lifecycle: from architecture design and large-scale data processing to infrastructure management and deployment in production environments. The system handles large volumes of data, integrates databases and search engines, and incorporates applied artificial intelligence techniques to support decision-making in real-world contexts. I collaborate with different areas of the team to translate functional requirements into efficient technical solutions.
Fullstack Developer
I developed a Full Stack educational web platform to facilitate teaching through Study and Research Paths (SRP). I implemented real-time collaboration features and automated data analysis using AI techniques. The system was validated in real-world classrooms, and the work resulted in an international scientific publication. I collaborated closely with project leadership on research, requirements definition, and architectural design.

Projects
Virtual financial analyst built on AWS Serverless architecture. It monitors and analyzes the market on X (formerly Twitter) via a fully decoupled, event-driven workflow. The infrastructure is defined entirely with Terraform (IaC). Orchestration is managed by EventBridge, which triggers ephemeral tasks on ECS Fargate Spot for robust data extraction (handling real sessions and evasion techniques), followed by asynchronous processing on Lambda utilizing Generative AI for contextual report generation. The frontend operates on a Git-based CMS model: every report triggers a GitHub Actions pipeline that deploys the static site globally via CloudFront.
Serverless solution for ephemeral and secure file transfer on AWS. It includes a CLI to generate temporary upload and download links using S3 Pre-Signed URLs, wrapped in disposable HTML interfaces, with no persistent backend. The infrastructure is fully defined using Terraform (IaC), leveraging remote state and execution via IAM AssumeRole in a multi-account environment, where the Route53 Hosted Zone, the Terraform backend, and ACM certificate validation reside in the management account (AWS Organization). Perimeter security is ensured through CloudFront with Origin Access Control (OAC), keeping the buckets strictly private with TLS/SSL termination.
Web-based classroom-style platform designed to support teaching through Study and Research Paths (SRPs), organizing learning around questions and answers. It enables real-time collaboration, academic progress tracking, and automatic analysis of educational data using AI techniques. It is currently used by teachers and students in real classroom contexts, and its development led to a scientific publication presented at an international conference on didactics.

Personal Cloud Infrastructure
Setup and maintenance of a self-hosted cloud infrastructure on a VPS (DigitalOcean), used to deploy and monitor multiple personal apps with Coolify. Includes a private VPN (WireGuard) for secure device communication, a self-hosted S3 server (MinIO) with access control and expiring links, and a N8N instance to orchestrate complex workflows. Also features advanced configuration of firewall, DNS, custom domains, reverse proxy, and SSL certificates.
