  1. 2021 — NOW

    CTO & VP of Product · Toptal Network

    • Engineered an enterprise reasoning and orchestration platform for privacy-first insurance underwriting — RAG over a vectorized ontology data lake, governance-bound agentic decisioning, human-in-the-loop throughout.
    • Built a computer-vision pipeline fusing laser marking with crystallographic topography analysis to defeat counterfeit provenance markings — patent application pending.
    • Architected digital product passports for the diamond value chain — a digital twin for every stone, cryptographically anchored from mine through manufacturing to finished jewelry, tens of thousands of carats of natural diamonds under verifiable provenance.
    • Stood up GigaStar — the first SEC-regulated (Reg CF) crowdfunding platform for YouTube creators, where fans participate in channel revenue.

  2. 2017 — 2021

    CTO · Ultramar Ferry

    • Took the largest ferry operator in the Caribbean from paper-based operations to a fully integrated digital platform — 30M+ passengers boarded through the system, still in production.
    • Architected the end-to-end stack — ticketing, access control, point-of-sale, mobile POS, back office, executive dashboards — one coherent system replacing decades of disconnected manual workflows.
    • Replaced legacy identification programs with Face ID–based access control; chronic terminal queues eliminated, and the mobile app drove organic growth in tourist passenger volume.

  3. 2013 — 2017

    Senior Solutions Architect · Farmacias Especializadas

    • Rebuilt point-of-sale, warehouse management, provider sourcing, and invoicing as one unified stack for a major LatAm pharmaceutical distributor — 100+ owned pharmacies plus independent affiliates across the region.
    • Spearheaded the migration from per-pharmacy on-premise servers to cloud infrastructure with zero disruption under live commercial demand.
    • Introduced co-insurance at point of sale — insurer-settled benefit discounts at the register, replacing pay-now-reimburse-later and materially improving patient access to medication.
