About Me

I’m a software engineer passionate about building performant, accessible web experiences and mentoring the next generation of developers. At companies like Netflix and PayPal, I’ve led teams, engineered scalable UI solutions, and driven major initiatives, from content management integrations to high-performance design systems.

With deep expertise in React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and server-driven UI, I’ve built widely adopted component libraries and optimized distributed systems. My leadership style is democratic, fostering collaboration while making decisive calls when needed.

As a proud Mexican immigrant, breaking into Big Tech was a lifelong dream. Now, I’m committed to inspiring more Latin@s to pursue careers in tech. I believe work should be creative, collaborative, and maybe even a little playful—like spinning a trompo during a brainstorming session.
