M.Sc. Computing Science

About

Howdy!

A little about who I am and the work I love doing.

Candelario A. Gutierrez Gutierrez Portrait goes here

I build cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and AI applications that are automated, reliable, and easy to maintain.

I work across DevOps and DataOps. I automate infrastructure as code, set up CI/CD pipelines so teams can ship with confidence, and build data pipelines that turn raw data into something useful.

I've built real-time streaming systems where speed and uptime matter, and I pay attention to what keeps them running well: Monitoring, clean environments, and good documentation.

On the AI side, I build chat assistants and agents that work with real-time data and knowledge bases, connected to the systems and data a business already has.

I hold an M.Sc. in Computing Science and enjoy mentoring other developers.
