From bank-wide platforms to medical SaaS.
Building systems that think.

About

Engineer who ships — now building with AI.

I started in money-laundering prevention at one of Latin America's largest banks, automating workflows that cut investigation time by 90%. From there I co-built bank-wide observability and event-collection platforms mandated across the entire engineering organization. Today I lead engineering at MedicIntel, a medical SaaS where I architected the multi-tenant platform from zero — scheduling, EMR, finance, OCR, real-time legal consultation — and own every architectural decision. Now I'm channeling 7+ years of production engineering into AI: studying LLM engineering, RAG, fine-tuning (QLoRA), agentic architectures, MCP, deep learning, and ML pipelines — because the next systems I build will think.
