Message

At EmployBridge, I lead Globant engineering teams through five engineering managers across concurrent projects. I designed and implemented an AI Adoption Plan, with some teams achieving a 2.5x increase in throughput within four months.

I also support the architectural design and execution of EmployBridge's ATS modernization program, based on domain driven design and microservices. My work spans web and mobile apps, backend microservices, and data warehouse and reporting.

At Royal Caribbean, I led four delivery teams providing development and 24/7 production support for guest- and crew-facing apps onboard. I oversaw code reviews, production monitoring, and incident resolution.

Earlier at Carnival Cruise Line, I led development of critical carnival.com modules, including payments, contributing to a platform handling over $1B in annual revenue. I also increased integration test coverage by 60% and helped enable bi-weekly release cycles.
