Nahuel Chaves

Full Stack Developer & DevOps Engineer

A brief summary of my professional life.

About Me

For the past 15 years, I have been a Full Stack developer, and since mid-2014, I developed my DevOps skills. I love traveling, rock music, and primarily enjoy life with my fiance.

On a professional level, my experience goes from learning the programming basics on Fox 2.6 with my father to manage a physical data center on the local government and handle multi-cloud environments with Azure and Amazon AWS.

I've also been developing my Full Stack skills with many languages such as:

Python
TypeScript
C#
Java
PHP
Elixir

and a lot of well-known frameworks.

I can say I have experience with other aspects of technology such as:

  • • HTML and CSS for mocking UI's
  • • Data Storages such as SQL Server, DynamoDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL and its forks (mainly for querying, but I also did some installations and essential management)
  • • ETL Solutions like AWS Glue, PySpark, Pandas
  • • Analytics Solutions like Rockset, Elasticsearch
  • • Containers using AWS ECS, Docker, and Kubernetes for building Micro Services platforms
  • • Code Integration and Code Delivery using GitHub Actions, or CircleCI and Jenkins

I am a constant and fast learner, always trying to improve myself, personally and professionally. Also, I can't see myself working without a Team, having one pushes me to be better and to teach others what I've learned, and that feels very rewarding. My native language is Spanish, and I'm also fluent in English (to read, write, and talk).
