Hello! My name is Jonathan Búcaro, a Product Engineer and Senior Software Engineer based in Guatemala 🇬🇹. I graduated as a Systems Engineer from Universidad Mariano Gálvez de Guatemala ➡️, and I build software end to end, from the business problem to running it in production.
For thirteen years at Banco G&T Continental, I worked primarily in the financial sector, participating in projects that demanded high standards of reliability, scalability, and regulatory compliance. During this time, I grew professionally from programmer to serving as a Technical Lead.
In various roles, I coordinated development teams, led the modernization of critical systems, and facilitated the technological transition from legacy environments to modern platforms. I have a particular interest in optimizing processes, automating tasks, and ensuring that teams have the right knowledge and tools to achieve their goals.
In recent years, I have expanded my experience by collaborating with companies in other sectors, including multinational food corporations and the fintech industry. This has allowed me to adapt to new challenges, integrating solutions in cloud-oriented environments and applying my expertise across different industries.
I joined Cognits as a Full Stack Engineer contractor and worked there for two years. For several clients the role was product engineering: working directly with them on requirements, then building and shipping the services myself in C# and .NET, Java (Spring Boot) and TypeScript, all deployed on AWS. I also contributed to fintech process audits and cloud-based solution implementations.
That work led to a full-time role at Cognits, where I partner with leadership to analyze client requirements and develop business proposals. It deepened my understanding of how technology drives business value.
Along the way I’ve earned certifications in agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and key technologies. Cognits is now part of HTEC ➡️, where I work as a Senior Software Engineer.
I’m always open to connecting with fellow professionals. Let’s discuss technology, projects, or industry insights on LinkedIn ➡️.
Off the clock, I’m a Planeswalker: you’ll usually find me playing Magic: The Gathering.
