What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on mobile architecture and reliability where I can mentor engineers, reduce technical debt, and drive scalable user growth.

I am a Senior Mobile Engineer with over 10 years building high-impact Android and cross-platform applications and more than 18 years in software engineering. I focus on performant, scalable, and secure mobile experiences driven by solid architecture and rigorous testing.

At Automattic I designed a sync engine for Day One Journal that improved cross-device reliability and cut sync-related support tickets by over 30% within four months, and I helped deliver features that drove a 142% increase in MAUs. I also re-architected Android modules to reduce technical debt and accelerate feature delivery.

Previously I led backend architecture and mobile integration efforts for supply-chain platforms, reduced support tickets through API fixes, and built foundational mobile codebases that improved delivery speed. My research and Ph.D. work produced static analysis tools and pipelines for Android, reinforcing my approach to building more stable, secure production apps.

I teach data analysis and software development at Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, combining academic instruction with real-world engineering practice to prepare students for tech careers. I seek roles where I can drive architecture, improve reliability, mentor teams, and deliver measurable user growth.
