Building financial products people actually need.

Runner, father, and fintech enthusiast. From consulting and enterprise tech to fintech and banking — across Accenture, Oracle, Rappi, BBVA, and Capital One — I've built a career at the intersection of financial products, customer behavior, and data-driven decision making.

I go deep on hard problems. Whether it's launching a credit card from scratch at a super-app, building the first debit-to-debit payment railway at a major bank, or working on cards and data at Capital One — I operate at the seam between strategy, technology, and the customer.

I've launched products across four markets — Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States — navigating different regulatory environments, customer behaviors, and infrastructure realities in each one.

Outside work, I train for marathons (three and counting) and find the same clarity in long runs that I find in the mountains: wide open space, patience, and depth over noise.
