Raymundo Vásquez Ruiz

👋 Hi!

I'm a seasoned Computer Engineer with years of expertise developing and maintaining software products and services. My greatest interest is in creating, maintaining and composting technology from a decolonial vison.

I have performed different roles during my career, from Sysadmin to CTO, and mainly Software Engineer. I have also experienced regulatory frameworks such as ISO27001 and ISO13485.

I specialize in cloud computing, software architecture, and product engineering, always prioritizing collaboration and continuous improvement. I have also experience in computing and network hardware as well as microcrontroller chips.

I'm originally from Ixtepec, Oaxaca, México, currently living in Brussels, Belgium, and have a proven track record of turning caffeine into ideas, conversations and code everywhere I go. The more coffee, the merrier!

I love having a chat on diverse topics! Feel free to reach out via email at raymundo(at)vasquezruiz(dot)com or send me a message on social media.

My work

I move along:

  • Architecting, developing and maintaing diverse software applications on the web, mobile and command line interfaces.

    My largest experience comes from: Linux, Kubernetes, Mongo DB, Node.js, Go, Javascript and Typescript.

  • Collaborating beyond technical implementation.

    I'm happy to write articles, provide advise or other kind of support to people and organizations that care about defending land and water or implement autonomous and collective digital infrastructure.

  • Researching and documenting the impact of digital technology in nature.

    I'm currently active in Webs of Water and Hack2o.

📨 I am currently available to help you and your organization on different collaboration schemes. Send me a mail if you're interested!

Interests

I delve into my interests primarily on my blog (in Spanish) and Mastodon, they go around the following (non-extensive) topics:

  • Computing within Earth limits: the digital world does not exist in a vacuum and it has a very large physical representation. Therefore, it should not behave as limitless, it bears a responsibility to our planet and our societies.
  • Cyber-realism: technology doesn't exist in isolation, it is per se neither good, bad or neutral, it is the result of the interaction between political and economical powers and the social context. Who creates technology? What for? For whose interests?
  • Decoloniality.
  • Equality, social and climate justice.
  • Politics.
  • WebAssembly, specially beyond the browser: I'd love to see how it changes the way we deliver software.
  • Psychology and neuroscience.
  • Music, lots of music. I also play guitarra de son.
  • Reading... a lot.
