ING. JUAN LERCH | COVER LETTER
I’m a hands-on Principal Software Engineer and Information Systems Engineer with 20+ years of experience delivering backend systems, data platforms, data analysis, and integration-heavy solutions across fintech, healthcare, and education. I’ve evolved from developer to technical lead and architecture-focused roles while staying close to implementation and product outcomes.
My work combines technical depth with strong stakeholder alignment. I focus on translating real business needs into reliable technical plans, ensuring predictable delivery, transparency, and long-term partnerships built on trust and ownership. I also bring 5+ years of experience working with U.S.-based companies and international distributed teams in English-speaking environments.
I’ve led complex backend, data processing, and integration initiatives in distributed teams, guiding architecture decisions, defining standards, supporting code reviews, and delivering maintainable production systems. I operate comfortably at both strategic and hands-on levels.
In fintech, I’ve contributed to backend modernization, API development, B2B integrations, reporting and data analysis platforms, and data-lake initiatives, collaborating remotely in Agile environments to improve reliability and delivery quality.
In healthcare, I implemented HL7/FHIR-based integrations and enterprise Java components in high-responsibility contexts, including government environments requiring robustness, supporting analytics and reporting workflows for clinical and operational data.
In education, I’ve worked on academic platforms, educational data/reporting systems, and large-scale digital education initiatives, complemented by my experience as a university professor.
Currently, I’m integrating LLM capabilities (including ChatGPT) into a large Statistical Information System to enable Natural Language Query over extensive reporting assets, combining backend architecture, safe rollout strategies, and performance optimization (Parquet + Spark).
