Current State: Bridging Software Engineering & Financial Strategy

Precision in Code. Performance in Finance.

I am Benjamin Sanchez Zebadua, based in Ottawa, ON (Relocated from Mexico). I apply a computing mindset to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable solutions. Whether architecting scalable systems or engineering financial strategies, I deliver precision-driven results for a digital-first economy. My journey took me from the high-traffic tech hubs of Mexico to the Canadian financial landscape, and I bring that same disciplined, global mindset to every project.
