Most recently a founding engineer at Groupthink, where I built real-time AI collaboration tools in React and React Native and shaped our mobile and client architecture.
Worked on theReact Native team at Meta, leading strategy for the New Architecture open source rollout. I helped shape the public roadmap, maintained the CI/CD pipeline, built core integrations, and ensured alignment between internal systems and open source releases. I also authored much of the documentation and worked closely with the community to drive adoption and developer success.
Founding engineer at Parse (acquired by Meta), where I led community engagement, shaped the developer advocacy roadmap, and contributed to both frontend and platform tooling. I also managed the Developer Advocacy team, gave talks worldwide, and helped guide the product through shutdown and open-sourcing.
Before that, I spent two years at Polsense building iOS apps in Objective-C for Puerto Rico’s largest bank, starting just after the launch of the App Store. It was the early days of mobile, and I dove deep into iOS before most companies took it seriously, shaping internal banking tools for one of the island’s largest institutions.
Earlier still, I spent four years as a systems architect at Evertec, the financial services provider behind the largest bank in Puerto Rico. I designed and maintained high-availability systems in a regulated environment, giving me a strong foundation in reliability and scale.
I studied Computer Engineering in Puerto Rico, where I also managed the physics department’s high-performance computing lab — an experience that grounded my love for Unix systems and infrastructure.
I grew up in Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States (yes, I am a citizen!). A few years after graduating from college, I moved to the Bay Area to build software with great teams.
