Solutions architect in Guatemala

I am Jonhathan Rodas, a cloud solutions architect and digital platform leader based in Guatemala: I turn complex business problems into simple, measurable, scalable platforms, at the intersection of technology and business. I have led the construction of corporate platforms, AI solutions, serverless architectures, and executive analytics systems: 27+ integrated tools, around 250 users across five countries, and the replacement of some 15 executive dashboards and close to 150 Power BI licenses. My work covers AWS architecture, enterprise integration with SAP and RPA, data platforms, and applied artificial intelligence only where it adds measurable value. Before designing, I diagnose: first the real business constraint (cost, speed, control or risk) and only then the technology that resolves it. I also publish research: I hold an ORCID and two preprints with DOIs on Zenodo.

I don't build technology just so it works: I design it to reduce costs, improve decisions, eliminate manual work, and create capabilities the organization didn't have before.

My background in Police Science shaped how I solve problems: analytical rigor, a forensic mindset, and an obsession with root cause before designing a solution. That perspective helps me simplify complex systems without losing robustness.

Specialties

I work where technology touches real operations: critical processes, costs, data, and executive decisions.

  • Architecture[Specialties]Stable, secure, cost-efficient systems: serverless, containers, and event-driven architectures on AWS, designed to scale with the business.realizes Up to 90% less execution time
  • Intelligence[Specialties]Data, AI agents, and conversational analytics to improve decisions: assisted reporting and natural-language business queries connected to the Data Lake.realizes ~150 Power BI licenses replaced
  • Product[Specialties]Complete platforms people actually adopt, not just technical components: tools, reports, and automations in a single digital experience.realizes 27+ tools · 250 users · 5 countries
  • Impact[Specialties]Results are measured in savings, adoption, speed, accuracy, and operational capability rather than in the technologies used.
