What I'm looking for

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

I am a Senior Engineering Manager with extensive experience leading multidisciplinary teams and managing strategic technological projects in the corporate financial sector. My specialization in process design and optimization has allowed me to oversee technical support teams in production environments effectively. I have a proven track record of delivering high-impact solutions across the LATAM region, covering 17 countries. Through the implementation of agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban, I achieved a 22% reduction in development phase costs, a 17% increase in operational efficiency, and a 50% decrease in defect frequency in production environments.

Throughout my career, I have orchestrated significant projects, including the unification of foreign exchange transaction process flows for 14,000 monthly operations at Citibank. I have built and led high-performance teams across Argentina, Brazil, and the rest of the LATAM region, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. My leadership style emphasizes mentorship and coaching, ensuring that junior staff members receive comprehensive guidance on technical skills and best practices for growth opportunities.
