I designed a cash management product from scratch and led its implementation on web and mobile for Argentina and Mexico retail and institutional clients. The product was successfully released in Argentina, with over 15,000 unique customers, but unfortunately, it was never released in Mexico due to insufficient funding. I managed the project end to end, including managing the dev team, UI/UX designers, and QA, negotiating with external partners/brokers, working closely with our marketing team on the commercialization strategy, and overseeing support.

I managed the app from a product and project perspective, designing the UX from scratch, guiding the UI/UX engineering, and writing the specs for the engineers. It was a very complex project since it linked the Web2 and Web3 worlds.

As a project manager, I inherited a version of the Hummingbot Miner that was nearly a minimum viable product (MVP). I managed a scrum team of ten developers that brought the product to its current state through almost 15 releases in one year. The platform currently has over 300 unique customers that trade over $800,000 daily.

I led the revamp of the company's existing robo-advisory platform, which included a complete UI/UX redesign, the design and implementation of new investment strategies, and the release of a mobile version of the app.

I managed a "skunk works" team of four developers, a UI/UX designer, and a tech architect. Starting with a design sprint, we were able to put together an MVP in less than two months. The product itself was a trading SaaS platform aimed at crypto token issuers and exchanges that needed to provide liquidity for certain markets.

I managed two teams of six developers each, one team for the back end and another for the front end and API, during the release of the MVP and the first version of a backtesting web-based engine aimed at algorithmic crypto traders. I also put together and managed a private beta with a select group of users who were power crypto traders and who eventually became the first clients of the platform.

Directed the design and implementation of a new financial reporting system that automated invoice and cashflow tracking and provided daily interactive statements and customizable reports. Our internal customers were the CFO, CEO, and board of directors.

I led the design and implementation of a complete upgrade of Brazil's entire FX trading business, migrating all systems and operations from ad hoc software and procedures to the global standard. The company had attempted this project twice before without success. The project involved coordinating over ten tech teams in multiple regions, including the US, the UK, Argentina, Brazil, and India, along with the front, middle, and back office operations and the compliance, business management, and legal departments.

Led the implementation of a new line of investment banking products for JPMorgan in Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil. I managed the entire project, including the engineering, compliance, legal, and front, middle, and back office teams.

I led the migration of ExxonMobil's Dallas and Houston IT on-premise storage infrastructure to the public cloud. During this project, I collaborated with the company's architects, negotiated with the cloud provider, and coordinated with the infrastructure teams.

As part of an outsourcing effort, we needed to segregate the company's network so that analysts from an external service provider could perform IT-related tasks without having access to proprietary information. It was a very challenging project, both technically and operationally, since we needed to coordinate in-house infra teams with the contractor's IT team, all scattered in three different time zones, including the US, India, and Malaysia.

After migrating from Blackberries to iPhones, it was necessary to set up a company-specific app store to provide internal apps to more than 20,000 users. I co-led the rollout project of this app store, which involved leading an ad hoc team of iOS engineers and coordinating penetration tests with the IT security department.
