What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can architect high-impact Flutter products, lead delivery and CI/CD, and build AI-powered mobile experiences (RAG, vector search, LLMs) with Clean Architecture—thriving in both startups and enterprise environments.

I’m a Senior Flutter Engineer with 17+ years of software development experience and 7.5 years of dedicated Flutter expertise, including early adoption in Latin America (Flutter v1.0, 2018). I focus on cross-platform mobile architecture with Clean Architecture patterns and production-grade Flutter delivery.

I build AI-powered mobile experiences using Firebase, Genkit Dart, RAG pipelines, and vector search (Firestore), including tool calling and LLM integration. I also shape experiences with Generative UI (GenUI), bringing practical AI capabilities into real product workflows.

I lead teams and ship end-to-end solutions thanks to full-stack capabilities across .NET/C#, Python, and Go. I’ve architected and scaled apps “from scratch,” reduced release cycle time by ~60% through CI/CD migration, and improved UI consistency with a company-wide Design System.

I also contribute to the Flutter ecosystem as co-organizer of Flutter Conf LATAM (300–400+ attendees) and an international speaker at DevFest and Google I/O Extended. My professional ethos is combining deep Flutter mastery with strong engineering fundamentals—clean state management, testing discipline, and measurable delivery impact.
