Message

At Innovus Labs, I managed a portfolio of 15+ SaaS product development initiatives, custom software solutions, and staff-augmentation projects. I coordinated engineering teams, product designers, and client stakeholders across delivery from discovery through deployment.

I implemented GitHub Projects, Jira, and Zoho One to streamline workflows and automate status reporting, reducing reporting time by 40%. Partnering with engineering, QA, and DevOps teams, I helped standardize development processes and improve deployment cycles by 20%.

At Generation, I managed technology education programs across Colombia and Mexico, including Generation's first multinational technical training initiative. I partnered with Unity Technologies on bootcamp curriculum and built assessment frameworks that helped place 290+ graduates in technology roles.

Earlier, I managed technical assistance and the Young Professionals Fellowship Program at USAID/Colombia, and drove B2B SaaS sales at Swarmsales. I bring an MBA focused on digital transformation, along with training in Python/SQL, data analytics, and modern project management tools.
