## About

```text
At Globant, I managed technology delivery across enterprise client assignments, coordinating plans, team priorities, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder communication. On Citibanamex’s banking transformation, I worked alongside delivery leadership with approximately five to six teams to increase cross-team planning and visibility of blockers.

I helped establish joint planning, customer Product Owner participation, and governance forums. I also identified missing bank-owned API dependencies and supported roadmap re-estimation and revised delivery commitments.

At Taller Technologies, I directed technical assessment operations, managing two direct reports and coordinating 100+ on-demand technical interviewers. I improved capacity visibility, scheduling, standards, and quality controls, helping increase technical interview throughput approximately 2x.

My earlier work includes technical coordination on Openbank’s digital onboarding initiative and Java development and technical leadership at Globant, Integra Media SRL, and everis. I’m also a Co-Founder of Kaizen Zeta, where I work on client partnerships, leadership programs, and operational consulting, and a University Professor at Universidad del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino (UNSTA).
