Quito-based startup co-founder & tech lead scaling high-traffic systems zero-to-one. I lead global teams delivering enterprise AI agents & UI modernization.
Building software is a lot like writing a story. You need structured architecture, zero bloat, and a seamless path for the user. Whether engineering real-time dispatch systems or indexing data for AI search engines, the goal is always the same: strip away the technical noise so a fast, functional experience remains.
