About
I’m Humberto Salazar. I live in Vancouver and work at AWS as a Senior Delivery Consultant in Application Modernization. Previously, I led cloud and DevOps at MACH, a consumer fintech in Santiago, Chile, where I also helped spread cloud adoption across the local tech scene. Earlier, I spent about ten years building web platforms.
Outside work I build things that sit on a desk. Mostly that means Raspberry Pi touchscreen dashboards, with the enclosures designed in CAD and 3D-printed here, and a homelab that keeps growing. My latest project is a Stream Deck plugin, Deck for T3 Code.
AI coding agents let me try more experimental things and still have a life, which mostly means building whatever my wife dreams up next.

Let’s talk
Plenty keeps me busy and entertained at AWS, but I never say no to a good conversation. Working on something in cloud or platform engineering? Want to compare notes on anything here? Say hi.
