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.

For whom: Engineers who feel stuck in a specific situation — whether technical, business-facing or research-driven — and want clarity without committing to a full program.
