Work Experience
CTO
2022 - 2023
Mailberry
- Designed the architecture and implemented an email marketing platform using edge industry standards.
- Implemented the application in a way that it can scale up or down and can handle unlimited demand.
- Defined a work plan to build the MVP as fast as possible and then a second phase to run into maintenance mode, in which we started writing tests and reviewing the application, which is robust and resilient.
- Built a small internal framework comprising reusable custom React components and hooks.
Technologies: React, Express.js, Serverless, TypeScript, Next.js

Technologies: MySQL, Go, Node.js, React, TypeScript, Redux
Software Developer
2015 - 2018
Sightlinemaps.com
- Customized Mapbox layers to fulfill the needs of the website and back-end processing.
- Made a separate back-end process in Python to put together the 3D model, using Python, Flask, and Celery.
- Deployed and maintained all necessary services installed on AWS and other services.
- Eventually made the product to come up with a 3D STL ready-to-print model out of a square map selection. Totally awesome results.
- Optimized and minimized code to improve stability and moved code from the Python back-end with the goal of having only one stack of technologies: Meteor.

- Developed tons of new features for a mobile and web app such as getting the right thumbnails for users' files collections.
- Integrated a variety of third-party APIs such as Google Drive API, Dropbox, Box, and others.

Some problems were tricky; for example, streaming out files directly from third-party services to Stride app through StrideLabs back-end maintaining the security layer consistently during the process (so that files could be read by their owners only).
- Integrated Parse, Heroku, and several AWS services to compose a back-end that could fulfill the needs of the app.
- Worked with data indexing through Elasticsearch.
- Applied security rules over all data models, based on Parse security paradigms and enhancing it to StrideLabs' own back-end workers deployed on Heroku.

Experience
Event.py
A module that is the event connection between the dispatcher and receiver. This working version has one dispatcher type—PubNub—but has the interface to implement more. The module is part of a framework that enables the construction of real-time web applications without dealing with complex infrastructure in real time.
Macanudo
A daily paper comic fan page that automatically gathers issue comics from http://lanacion.com.ar/humor and displays them on the home page.
IBidGames
A Facebook game I developed. I was given a barely working project and had the mission to make it bug free and scalable to handle high traffic. The same back-end serves the mobile application as well as the web app. While the business is still young, software-wise it is ready to compete with the best players in the market. I managed to put together an interdisciplinary team to help me finish the project.
