What I'm looking for

I'm looking for senior mobile or C++/systems roles where I can work on real-time, performance-sensitive products and long-lived codebases. I’m open to remote work or hybrid opportunities in Buenos Aires.

At Pixowl, I build and maintain native iOS and Android layers over a large Cocos2d-x C++ core, shipping consumer games including Peanuts: Snoopy's Town Tale, Goosebumps Horror Town, and Addams Family: Mystery Mansion.

I own engine modules, gameplay systems, rendering, UI, and asset pipelines, while integrating analytics, crash reporting, attribution, social login, consent, in-app purchases, offerwalls, and ad mediation.

I run iOS release, signing, and multi-platform build pipelines, and focus on the real-time performance, memory, throughput, concurrency, and timing issues that emerge in mature codebases. I also contribute to Node.js/Express and Redis services deployed with Docker and AWS S3.

Earlier, I developed C++ automotive HMI components for Bosch through Altran, including state-machine controllers and CANoe validation. Alongside my systems work, I build Python data and AI systems using PostgreSQL, pgvector, Docker Compose, CI/CD, RAG evaluation, multi-agent reasoning, and observability.
