Alonso Herreros Copete

Telecommunications Engineering Graduate

Telecommunications Engineering graduate with a strong interest in the intersection of software development and systems infrastructure, with practical experience ranging from low-level performance optimization (C/C++, CUDA) to Linux systems administration and deployment of network architectures with IaC and CI/CD pipelines. I enjoy diving into open-ended technical challenges, understanding how systems work under the hood, and building robust, maintainable solutions.
