Fernando Silva
Software Engineer
Integration Solution Architect
Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, in a middle to low class family that taught me to work honestly for what I want and be strictly correct in the process. That mindset has stayed with me ever since, shaping how I approach everything I do. I love comedy, I'm always working on becoming a better version of myself, and I'm fascinated by aviation.
I'm a Software Engineer who specializes in IT integrations using MuleSoft and Workato. In practice, that means I'm the techie who helps companies connect their enterprise applications in a structured way, building reusable, purposeful APIs that unlock data from systems, compose it into processes, or deliver it as an experience.
With over 10 years of experience, I've worked remotely as a contractor based in Venezuela, delivering integration projects across North America, Central America, South America, and Asia. Along the way, I earned a degree in Software Engineering and built my career starting with MuleSoft before branching into Workato as well.
To me, finding your passion means finding the hard problems you're willing to keep wrestling with, even when they turn out tougher than expected — the kind of frustration you're happy to sit with because you know you'll learn from it. I believe I've found mine in software engineering, and I try to bring honesty and integrity to everything I do.
