~Senior Full-Stack Engineer / AI SystemsDavid Gómez
I build backend services and AI agents for a cloud-native P&C insurance platform, and run agentic tooling across the development workflow — architecture, code, review, testing.
From Venezuela to Colombia, from code to AI—always learning, always building.

I'm a Computer Engineer, originally from Venezuela and currently based in Colombia since 2019. I graduated in 2008 from Fermin Toro University in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, where my thesis earned two special distinctions—Mention for Publication and Honorific Mention—and was even featured in a local newspaper.
Since 2017, I've been working remotely with U.S.-based companies, gaining extensive experience in multicultural and distributed teams. This has shaped my ability to communicate effectively across cultures, collaborate seamlessly in remote environments, and thrive in diverse professional settings.
Throughout my career, I've built a reputation for being organized, approachable, and resilient. I enjoy tackling complex challenges, driving projects to completion, and supporting my team every step of the way. My current passion is exploring the world of artificial intelligence, while continuing to grow as a leader and mentor.

Cloud-native, multi-tenant platform for P&C insurers. I build the conversational AI agent layer — the agents themselves, the MCP servers they call, and the persistence, authorization, and safety work that makes them production-grade — and apply agentic tooling across the development workflow.
- Python
- FastAPI
- Flask
- LangGraph
- MCP Servers
- Agentic AI
- Vue.js
- MySQL
- Alembic
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- AWS
- GitHub Actions
- k6
- Django
Key achievements
- Build conversational AI agents for a multi-tenant P&C insurance platform, including LangGraph deep agents with custom middleware that bounds tool retries and ends a run with an actionable message instead of crashing on the recursion limit
- Design and build the MCP servers those agents call, turning policy, lines, quoting, claims, rules, and document APIs into governed agent tools
- Build the persistence layer behind agent jobs and chat: MySQL-backed with an Alembic-owned schema, long-running jobs resumable after a pod restart, and per-user isolation enforced at both the route and storage layers so a missed ownership check cannot be exploited
- Propagate caller identity from agent through MCP to the core API and audit every tool call, making agent-initiated changes attributable and turning opaque permission failures into actionable messages
- Harden agent output against disclosure — keeping reasoning traces and internal file paths out of user-facing chat, and training agents to refuse unsupported mid-session input
- Add human-in-the-loop approval gates and streaming progress to long-running agent workflows, so users review and correct extracted data before anything is committed
- Roll the agent stack out across carrier environments, pinning builds and tuning per-tenant deployment configuration
- Design backend services in Python, FastAPI, and Flask; completed the platform's Python 3 migration and architected a policy numbering service using optimistic locking for safe concurrent issuance
- Introduce k6 load testing, including concurrent policy issuance stress tests, and remediate security vulnerabilities such as HTTP parameter pollution in API gateway routing
- Review 370+ pull requests across the platform and agent repositories, and mentor engineers through architecture discussion and code review
- Apply agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) across the development lifecycle for implementation, review, documentation, test generation, and story creation
