Raymundo Vásquez Ruiz

👋 Hi!

I'm a seasoned Computer Engineer with years of expertise developing and shipping software products and services. I work at the intersection of technology, decoloniality, and planetary boundaries, leaving behind the vision that tries to hide the impact of creating, using and applying technologies at the expense of life and societies.

I have performed different roles during my career, from Sysadmin to CTO, and mainly Software Engineer, across different industries such as education, delivery and healthcare. 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'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 daily work

🌿 I'm currently the Lead Cloud Engineer at levv, where we build sustainable cloud computing services from data center to platform.

🚀 My personal quest is to deliver high quality products at a good pace, implementing the best industry standards in a sustainable and responsible manner.

My tools

Currently I'm well versed in these technologies:

  • Mongo DB
  • Node.js
  • Kubernetes
  • WebAssembly

And the following programming languages:

  • Go
  • Javascript and Typescript
  • Rust

📨 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), Instagram 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.
