What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a Senior Software Engineer with over nine years of experience, I specialize in full-stack development, particularly within JavaScript ecosystems. My career has been marked by a proven track record of leading high-impact projects and driving technical excellence across fintech and SaaS platforms. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in developing scalable applications and optimizing complex systems.

Currently, I am working at JetBridge, where I develop full-stack applications using Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. My previous roles include founding a senior software engineer position at Strada, where I built an integration platform in record time, and leading frontend development at Mercado Libre, where I directed the launch of QR payments across Argentina and Brazil. My commitment to mentoring and team leadership has been a cornerstone of my professional journey, enabling me to foster growth and excellence within my teams.
