About

I’m passionate about programming and technology. I love developing innovative ideas and solving real-world problems through tech. Creating solutions that have a big impact excites me, and I’m always eager to learn and apply new advancements in my projects. I bring extensive practical experience working in startups from their inception to maturity. This has allowed me to take on multiple roles, from a product-focused perspective to more technical roles such as software development. I have worked on creating software products and services used by thousands of users in Latin America, with a strong emphasis on sensitive data security and system integrity. Additionally, besides my studies in computer science, I have also studied finance and business administration as part of my graduate degree, and I hold a professional title as an Industrial Civil Engineer. This diverse background enables me to provide a comprehensive and technical perspective to the program.

Why MSSM?

I am very interested in the practical focus of the program. I want to better apply my technical skills in a practical environment. I believe the blend of engineering, interpersonal skills, and the program’s design fits perfectly with what I seek in my professional career. I hope to meet people with similar interests in the program.

Education

Experience

Software Engineer II at Toku (YC S21).

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

After graduating, I would like to continue working on the technical aspects of developing software products and services, potentially leading and managing teams. I enjoy working in startup and entrepreneurial environments, so I hope to find similar settings where my work can have a significant impact.
