Fortino Romero

Cloud Engineer | AWS Advocate | DevOps Enthusiast

Who am I?

I'm a software engineering student and passionate Cloud Engineer-in-training from Mexico. I specialize in designing cloud-native solutions with AWS, Docker, and IoT, and I believe in using technology to solve real-world challenges.

From hackathons to international innovation programs, I thrive in collaborative environments where impact meets creativity. I currently lead the AWS User Group Puebla and have delivered tech talks about my work in Japan and beyond.

"I aim to build scalable, impactful tech that serves both people and planet."
