About

Engineering practice, not a biography

I work at the intersection of product and platform: performance, reusable systems, and clear tradeoffs when the business asks for one. This is not a resume. It is what I do, how I think, and what I say no to.

Who I am

I am a senior frontend engineer—currently at Deel, on org chart and adjacent product work. Before that: Mercado Libre, Strike, and full-stack roots. The tenure matters less than a repeated pattern: I care about leaving systems better than I found them, and teaching the why, not just the what.

How I think about engineering

Frontend is the discipline of choice: what to take as a given, where to optimize, which abstraction actually pays for itself. I would rather be explicit with tradeoffs than pious with dogma. If I cannot explain the bet to a PM or a designer, I have not fully understood it yet.

Principles I return to

01 Payload, interaction, perception—users do not read your stack; they feel the result.
02 Coupling is a contract: you name it and manage it, or it costs you more later.
03 Product consistency is not cosmetic—shared systems (design, build, CI) are the abstraction tax that buys speed.

What I specialize in

Web performance, frontend platform work, and product architecture—lighthouse in the field, not only locally; bundles and loading; how UX shows up in traces; reusable foundations; language that lands with product and data, not just engineering.

What I am exploring now

Where large-app frameworks start to creak, how to measure interaction under load without hiding behind acronyms, and when AI in the dev loop is leverage versus a black box. If you are reading this, I would trade notes.

History

Where the practice met production

A concise record of the environments where the philosophy above was pressure-tested. Bullets are outcomes, not a job description.
