Andres Ordonez
DevOps Engineer - Bucaramanga, Colombia (US Citizen)
I'm Andres. I build cloud infrastructure with AWS, Terraform, Docker, and GitHub Actions. Lately I've been working on fintech projects like a payment API and an orderbook engine. I'm drawn to the intersection of finance and technology, probably because I co-founded an investment group a few years back where I handled everything from LLC formation to trading platform setup. I also run a YouTube channel called CodeLyon with 36K subscribers and 7M+ views. Teaching has made me a better communicator and a clearer thinker. Currently looking for junior DevOps or Cloud Engineering roles, especially at fintech or web3 companies.
