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.

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