David Lopera is an R&D Manager and seasoned software engineer based in Cali, Colombia, with two decades of hands-on experience driving innovation in automation, analytics, DevOps, and machine learning applied to software quality. He has progressed from full-stack and mobile development to technical leadership roles, co-leading R&D teams at GreenSQA and shaping backend systems as a senior engineer at Makrwatch. Equally comfortable in the .NET ecosystem and cloud platforms (Azure, Firebase), he has practical ML experience in computer vision using Keras/TensorFlow and has contributed CV/DL code for PyImageSearch crash-course projects. Known for blending applied research with production delivery, he routinely converts experimental models and DevOps practices into tangible quality improvements. His background includes ERP and enterprise systems work, giving him a rare mix of product-focused engineering and research-driven innovation. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic technical leader who mentors teams while still writing and reviewing the core code that ships.
