What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities for contributing to new or existing systems, or participating in top-notch application projects.

I am particularly passionate about building real-world, problem-solving solutions, and more recently, I’ve become obsessed with the next frontier we’re crossing with the emerging of advanced, practically-useful AI technologies.

With over 13 years of experience in software engineering and management, I have a proven track record of leading high-performing teams and delivering innovative solutions in the Fintech sector. As a co-founder and CTO at FD-IT Soluciones, I have successfully guided the company in providing tailored consulting and development services across Latin America. My expertise in systems architecture and agile methodologies has enabled me to drive significant business value through technological innovation.

In my recent role as a Principal Software Engineer at Toptal, I led critical frontend projects, championed code quality, and mentored engineering teams to elevate their skills. My experience as a Technical Product Manager has equipped me with the ability to manage product lifecycles from conception to launch, ensuring alignment with business goals and client needs. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my technical and leadership skills to foster collaboration and drive project success.
