SpainWhat I'm looking for
With over two decades of experience in product design and entrepreneurship, I am dedicated to crafting innovative digital solutions that scale. My journey began with founding and designing globally successful applications, such as Instituto de Inteligencia Artificial Storybeat, which has amassed over 30 million users. I have played a pivotal role in transforming Jobandtalent from a small startup into a $2 billion enterprise, showcasing my ability to thrive at the intersection of design, technology, and strategy.
My expertise encompasses user experience design, product strategy, development, and team leadership. I am driven by a passion for creating intuitive and impactful products that blend creativity with data to address real-world challenges. As the founder of Storybeat, I spearheaded product design and growth, achieving significant milestones, including over $100K in monthly recurring revenue and maintaining a robust user base of over 2 million monthly active users.
Currently, I am conceptualizing and developing Somme, a wine scanner app that recommends wines based on user flavor profiles. My experience includes integrating advanced technologies like OpenAI API and Firebase to enhance user experience and monetization strategies. I am committed to delivering user-focused solutions that not only meet business objectives but also elevate the overall customer experience.
