I build AI-native fintech and data products that turn insights into measurable growth.
What I'm looking for
At Clade, I ship AI-powered features and agentic workflows using LLMs and document intelligence, while building internal tooling across MCP, GraphQL, SQL/Postgres, APIs, and product instrumentation. I also created automated QA and measurement layers that cut nightly failures by about 50% while expanding test coverage.
I've founded and led fintech products across Latin America, scaling MiBolsillo to 500K users and helping Conecta Pro process roughly $1B in annual transaction volume. I turn behavioral and transaction data into product decisions, including a 35% uplift in six months and expanded credit access.
