## About

```text
At Flowcol, I took a cloud ERP for small and medium businesses from idea to a live product, now serving five paying customers. I defined its value proposition, MVP, and roadmap from user research, and direct the product lifecycle from discovery through customer support.

I also designed Flowcol’s multi-company architecture, including company-level user roles and permissions, and integrated electronic invoicing through an external provider. My engineering background helps me translate business needs into feasible technical decisions alongside development, architecture, and data teams.

At Gravity Tunnel, I designed and implemented a SCADA-type control system for a tunnel motor, with resilient communications and real-time telemetry. I also defined and led development of Flow, an internal platform for administration, reporting, invoicing, and operational tracking.

Earlier, I led projects for financial-sector clients at Sophos Solutions and worked on CRM, transactional portals, and agile delivery at Fondo Nacional de Garantias S.A. I’m open to Product Manager, Product Owner, and Head of Product roles in companies building digital products with measurable impact.
