Decade-long experience in collaborating with startups and enterprise-scale companies around the Americas. I bring strong Software Engineering values, skills, and a collaborative work style.

A core pillar of my works is business reality. This allows me to analyze tradeoffs and make adequate engineering decisions to deliver the best ROI for projects at various stages.

I am a product person at heart who uses code to create solutions and improve people's lives.
