$>_ Profile
Hi, I'm Carlos Martinez, an engineering leader and senior software engineer from Colombia 🇨🇴. I've spent more than 12 years building scalable backend systems in the FinTech space, where I've integrated many payment providers and learned how payments work from the inside.
For the past 3 years I've led the Integrations team at Tesorio, building ERP and CRM connections with NetSuite, Intacct, QuickBooks, and Salesforce so finance teams can automate their workflows. Before that I spent 9 years as a Python/Django engineer, designing RESTful APIs, architecting cloud-native systems, and mentoring engineers. I started my career on the frontend, shipping production UIs with Vue.js and React, and I've also built mobile apps with Flutter.
Outside of work I maintain five open-source Django packages on PyPI, speak about Django internals at DjangoCon and PyCon Colombia, and take photos whenever I can. I code with AI tools every day: Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode running local LLMs.
