Letgo is, with over 100M downloads and more than 20M of monthly users, one the top downloaded second-hand marketplace Apps in USA.

Among other things I've been learning here is working and dealing with high availability and large scale systems. And how important is to have the correct logging and monitoring of your systems, with aproximately 700k daily users. Also designing solutions with different AWS (such DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, Aurora, etc)

Atrapalo•  November 2015 - January 2018

When I joined Atrápalo the company was in the path of migrating from monolith to microservices. So my work there was to keep working on that direction by creating new microservices from the scratch, always applying DDD. Maintain the legacy codebase was also important and adapting it to the new architecture. Also, during my Atrápalo journey I learned a lot of DevOps (mainly Docker, Jenkins Pipelines)
