Leonardo Arguedas Rodríguez

Software architect with two decades in critical systems for Latin American banking, government, and manufacturing. I worked from inside the transition from mainframe to cloud, and from inside the more recent moment too: the transition from cloud to models.

Sovereign Architecture was born of a question that kept reappearing in every project of the last three years — ministries, banks, large family-owned companies, small technical teams. The question is always the same: how to modernize without modernization becoming surrender. The industry's short answer — "adopt everything new as fast as possible" — is commercially convenient and operationally wrong. This book is the long answer.

I live in San José, Costa Rica. I write every two weeks. I teach occasionally. I accept invitations to speak when the context warrants it.
