About Ángel

I am a systems engineer specializing in virtualization and Citrix VDI environments. My strength lies in designing, optimizing, and maintaining critical platforms based on VMware, Citrix, and hybrid architectures, ensuring performance, stability, and a fluid user experience.

I focus on process automation with Python and PowerShell, creating Docker containers for internal services, and advanced Linux system administration. I work with validations, error handling, and automatic reporting to reduce repetitive tasks, minimize failures, and improve environment efficiency.

I have experience resolving high-level incidents, analyzing complex problems, and stabilizing systems under pressure. My goal is always the same: to leave infrastructures faster, more reliable, and easier to operate, thanks to a solid, automation-oriented technical approach.

DevOps profile focused on automation and operational efficiency. I focus on reviewing and improving code with a mindset of quality and maintainability, avoiding unnecessary technical debt. I enjoy designing and deploying web applications integrated with Active Directory, ensuring centralized authentication, role-based access control, and consistency with the corporate infrastructure.

Priority on robust CI/CD pipelines, reproducible environments, and traceable processes that reduce manual errors and improve production stability.
