Sobre mi
Andres Felipe Vargas Rivera
I'm Andrés Felipe Vargas, Lead Software Engineer and lecturer at Tecnológico de Costa Rica, where I teach Database Systems and Cybersecurity Fundamentals. I hold an MSc in Computer Science and co-authored "Towards AI-Based Identification of Publicly Known Vulnerabilities" (ESORICS 2024, Springer). Over 7+ years, I’ve led full-stack architecture, cloud DevOps pipelines and GPU validation work across companies like Intel, Wind River, Align Technology and Walmart. I’ve also led engineering teams and driven technical initiatives end-to-end, aligning engineers, product stakeholders and leadership around complex systems and decisions. Teams I’ve mentored have reduced delivery cycles by 30% through AI-assisted workflows. A core part of my work has been communicating complex technical ideas to different audiences — from engineers to product and executive stakeholders — translating deep technical concepts into clear, actionable decisions that move projects forward. I help Senior engineers transition into Tech Lead, Software Architect or Staff roles by building the skills those positions actually demand: decision-making under pressure, end-to-end ownership of technical initiatives, communicating complex problems across audiences, designing architectures under real-world constraints and navigating the technical-vs-business trade-off.

A 2-session program for engineers who want to improve how they make and defend technical decisions. This is where most engineers plateau — not because of lack of skill, but because of weak decision frameworks. Session 1 — Context & framing: We map your role, your constraints and the type of decisions you face. You leave with structured ways to think about trade-offs. Session 2 — Real case deep dive: We work through a real decision from your job — architecture, system design, trade-offs or stakeholder conflict. You’ll leave with: – A clearer decision-making framework – A structured way to explain your reasoning – Confidence when defending technical choices For whom: Senior engineers aiming for Tech Lead, Staff or Architect roles who need stronger judgment, not more coding skills.
