About Me

Diego Salazar

Full-Stack Architect

Professional Summary

I'm Diego Salazar, a Full-Stack Architect and Technical Founder with a Master's degree in Computer Science. I design and build scalable SaaS platforms, enterprise web applications, and AI-powered systems that help businesses operate smarter and more efficiently.

With over a decade of hands-on experience across frontend, backend, and cloud architecture, I specialize in structuring robust systems from the ground up, from custom algorithms and complex API ecosystems to distributed cloud infrastructures. I focus on creating reliable, maintainable, and performance-driven software that solves real business challenges.

Beyond the Code

When I'm not coding, you'll find me lacing up my running shoes or on the soccer field. Running helps me clear my mind and push my limits, while soccer brings out my competitive spirit and love for teamwork. Both activities remind me that consistency, discipline, and collaboration are just as important in life as they are in Software development.
