## Where I fit

Ignacio fits best in teams that need someone to turn complex operational workflows into reliable backend systems.

He works well in roles where he can own backend services, APIs, background jobs, databases, third-party integrations, deployment flows, and product-facing technical decisions, while still contributing across the frontend when needed.
