What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote Senior or Lead Software Engineer role open to candidates in Uruguay. I value ownership across frontend and backend, thoughtful architecture, and close collaboration with product and design. I'm especially interested in developer tools, analytics, and practical AI applications.

I'm a Lead Software Engineer at Preset and an Apache Superset committer, with a decade of experience building web products for distributed, international teams. My foundation is in frontend engineering, with hands-on work across Python services, APIs, software architecture, and technical leadership.

At Preset, I build analytics and embedded experiences, including AI assistants and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations. In Apache Superset, I contribute code, review and merge changes, and participate in architectural discussions.

Previously, my work included frontend architecture for CVS retail media tools, Python services and data workflows at Blend, Google's internal Doodles CMS, and Zendesk's transition from Ember and REST to React and GraphQL. These projects involved translating complex requirements into usable products and improving the architecture, testing, and shared patterns behind them.

I'm particularly interested in how engineers can delegate work to AI agents and move multiple efforts forward in parallel while preserving code quality, architectural coherence, and a deep understanding of the systems they own.
