Message

At Propi, I designed and executed the technology vision behind a platform that has transacted US$200M in real estate sales, with 1.5M annual visits and US$4B in listed inventory. I led the platform’s development from MVP to scale and launched four products, including rental management and banking and investor modules.

I led a team of 10 engineers in implementing a microservices architecture on Google Cloud Platform. I also integrated large language models and built Model Context Protocol servers on the platform.

As Founder & Owner of MiFuturoEmpleo, I built and operated a job board that has grown to more than 2M users and 12,000 active job offers across Latin America and Europe. It generates approximately US$80K in average annual revenue through Google AdSense and paid job postings.

At HUGO Technologies, I led an IT organization of 90 engineers, delivered 30 features and projects in Q1 2021, and launched Hugo Pay Lite and Hugo Fun. I supported the technology due diligence process for hugo’s US$150M acquisition by Delivery Hero. I also teach software delivery and architecture at ESEN and coach junior full stack developer bootcamp students at Kodigo.
