My Journey

With over 10 years of international experience across Chile, Australia, and the US, I've had the privilege of working with diverse teams and technologies to create exceptional digital experiences. My journey began with a Bachelor's in Computer and Informatics Engineering from the University of Santiago of Chile, followed by a Master's degree from MIT/MITM at the University of Sydney.

I specialize in modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly Angular (2-15) and React.js, and I'm passionate about creating scalable, performant web applications. My expertise spans micro-frontend architectures, component-based design, and delivering high-quality user interfaces in fast-paced, Agile environments. I have extensive experience in industries including logistics, travel, finance, e-learning, and SaaS.

As a CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise and security awareness to every project. I'm always eager to take on new challenges and continue growing in this ever-evolving field, with a focus on leading UI/UX improvements and architecting scalable solutions.
