About me

Engineering with range.

I’m a software engineer originally from Argentina and now based in the United States. I’ve built products and platforms for NVIDIA, Apple, Nike, SumUp, American Airlines, and growth-stage technology companies.

My work spans backend engineering, cloud architecture, distributed systems, developer tooling, data platforms, and applied AI. I enjoy turning complicated operational problems into dependable products that are easy to use and easier to maintain.

I’m strongest where product thinking meets deep implementation: designing APIs, shaping architecture, improving delivery pipelines, and helping engineering teams move with clarity.
