01
Backend
Bank integrations, payment disbursement, and data pipelines on PostgreSQL. Systems that move money and cannot fail.
Tech Lead · Monto
I'm José Cabrera. Tech Lead at Monto, based in Monterrey.
We build a product that lets people access money they've already earned, without waiting for payday.
Behind that there are bank integrations, payment disbursement, cloud infrastructure, and plenty of things that have to work every single time — because on the other side there's always someone waiting for their money.
That part is on me.

What I do
Backend, infrastructure, and security. Ruby on Rails and Python on the code side, AWS and Kubernetes on the cloud side, PostgreSQL in between.
02
Infrastructure
Responsible for production infrastructure at Monto. I build for the day something breaks — not the day it ships.
03
Security
SSO, access control, and the part of the platform nobody sees until it matters. Soon on video, too.
Things I've built
This is where I document the projects that were worth writing down: what was there before, what I decided, and what happened next.
Nothing published yet. I'm writing up the first one.
Videos
What I'm recording and publishing: coffee on the Gaggia for now, security soon.
Outside of work I make coffee on a Gaggia and I'm learning to film it. You'll find more of that on my social media than here.
