Engineering Manager with a strong software engineering background and 11+ years of experience leading teams, scaling backend systems, and delivering impactful products across logistics, fintech, healthtech, and marketplace platforms.
I specialize in building engineering cultures that balance velocity with quality—driving growth through strong team rituals, mentorship, and close collaboration with product, design, and data.
Currently at Cubbo, where I'm evolving engineering processes while staying hands-on with development. Previously at Nu, Examedi, and Cornershop (LatAm's Instacart), where I grew from Senior Engineer to Engineering Manager across teams of 3 to 10, driving improvements in payments, customer growth, scheduling, and inventory systems.
I'm passionate about developing people, fostering autonomy, and helping teams deliver meaningful, reliable software.
Outside of work, I'm a lifelong music enthusiast, a collector of both digital and physical formats, and a dedicated photographer.
