About

I have been deeply involved in software development since 2012, working across multiple disciplines, including UX, backend development, and data science. As the former CEO and CTO of Sage, a company that provided data-driven, tailormade personal assistants, I combined these skills to create comprehensive solutions that spanned the full spectrum of software engineering.

Meru.com

Main data engineer

Dec 2021Jul 2022 · 7 mos · Remoto · Remote

  • As Head of Data Engineering at Meru.com (YC W21), I led a team of three data engineers and one data scientist (two in Mexico and two in Ningbo, China) in optimizing and refactoring algorithms for selecting profitable products and forecasting product prices. I used tools such as Python, SQL, Metabase, and Snowflake to guide category managers in Mexico and China towards their next recommended purchases. I migrated the pricing algorithms (in Python and AWS Lambda) to Airflow to maintain their stability and keep the prices of goods shipments up to date throughout their lifecycle in predictable time cycles, from manufacturing costs in China, shipping through a customs agent to the Ningbo port, international shipping costs, customs costs, and finally, last mile costs. I also migrated Python web scraping tools scripts (Scrapy.py and Selenium) to Airflow to understand market prices for products (web scraping of Amazon.mx, Mercado Libre), international shipping rates (web scraping of icontainers.com, searates.com), and other relevant data sources (web scraping of Shanghai Shipping Exchange). In addition, I developed a self-service architecture in Snowflake that facilitated data and analytics access across the company. I taught SQL and provided basic tools to lower the time-to-pie of all employees across the company while reducing the workload of the data engineering team.
  • Developed and deployed production systems and prototypes using Python, Spark, and SQL on AWS and DataBricks.
  • Led the "Data Champions" initiative, establishing development standards and enabling data self-service.
  • Designed and implemented centralized data pipeline management systems using Python, Kedro, Flask, and FastAPI.
  • Utilized OpenAPI for API documentation and integration, facilitating seamless communication between services.

Co-founder, Product Designer

Sep 2011Dec 2013 · 2 yrs 3 mos

  • It’s a fact that in the construction industry, the early stages of a project include getting customers and funding. Drawings and models are very usefull tools to show and give an approximation of the final result of the project . The main objective of using tools is getting the feel of being inside the project and having a full experience of how it looks. When floor plans, drawings and models are combined with live photos and virtual tours they have reached their goal.
  • Indeed, behind the plans and virtual tour demonstration of a project there is a long , tedious and expensive process of design that unfortunately does not communicates the scope and details of the project and leaves many details to imagination. Although these tools are helpful, not everyone can properly interpret a plane and a virtual tour, leaving at the end limitations, questions and unexplained details of the project. All the previous limitations create a difficult environment to make a decision or to accelerate any process of the project you are looking (house, apartment building, office).
  • Glive is an online service that allows to create, publish, share and embed interactive 3D models online in real-time without plugin; created to overcome these drawbacks and provide virtual tours in the Internet, available and compatible with all browsers without installing additional software. Using WebGL technology is becoming the standard for online graphics rendering high quality and complexity. In addition to this, Glive provides interaction analysis to determine trends, tastes and impact areas of the project .
