Engineering Lead: Funding & Underwriting Platform Digitt

I built and led an engineering team for ~2.5 years while we shipped platform capabilities that supported a $50M credit facility and a $10M Series A. We rebuilt core client apps into a monorepo, automated parts of underwriting, and strengthened monitoring across systems. The outcome was faster execution, higher operational throughput, and a more scalable foundation for the business.

Highlights
  • Rebuilt client-side apps into a monorepo to improve reuse and developer velocity
  • Implemented a balance statement parser to enable automated underwriting workflows
  • Added monitoring + failure reporting across services to reduce time-to-diagnosis
  • Built internal backoffice tools to handle high daily application volume
  • Shipped a configurable CMS to let marketing/product iterate on funnel conversion

Microservices → Modular Monolith Migration Digitt

When I joined, the microservice architecture was undocumented, hard to run locally, and too complex for the company’s stage. I led the effort to consolidate services into a highly modular monolith while translating functionality safely and decommissioning legacy pieces. The result was a simpler system that was easier to develop, test, and ship from.

Highlights
  • Made the architecture runnable locally and documented critical flows
  • Consolidated scattered services into a modular monolith with clearer boundaries
  • Migrated functionality incrementally to reduce risk and downtime
  • Turned off legacy services once parity was achieved
  • Improved feature delivery with less operational overhead

Client Onboarding CMS (5 days → 10 minutes) Flourish FI

At Flourish FI, I learned from strong mentors and contributed to a CMS-driven onboarding experience. We reduced client onboarding from ~5 days to ~10 minutes by streamlining workflows and enabling configuration through CMS. We also made the frontend more reusable so the same app could adapt across clients.

Highlights
  • Contributed to a CMS system that made onboarding flows configurable
  • Helped reduce onboarding time from ~5 days to ~10 minutes
  • Improved reuse by making the frontend adaptable per client
  • Collaborated with international teams and senior mentors to ship reliably

Cofounded Mirak: Geo-based Safety Network + Location Check-in Mirak

I co-founded a small software house and delivered apps for Mexican companies and startup founders. We built a personal security social network that used geolocation for status reporting, and later applied that same expertise to an HR location-based check-in system. Running the company taught me how to balance product decisions, delivery, and client expectations under real constraints.

Highlights
  • Built a geolocation-focused safety social network for status reporting
  • Delivered a location-based employee check-in system for an HR company
  • Shipped mobile apps end-to-end with client feedback loops
  • Managed technical direction while co-owning product and delivery

Early Web & iOS Projects Revelation Tech

This was my self-learning chapter where I built websites for companies and a personal iOS meditation app while in college. I learned fundamentals by shipping real projects, iterating with feedback, and owning the full build-to-delivery cycle. That foundation became the starting point for the rest of my engineering career.

Highlights
  • Built multiple websites for real clients while studying
  • Developed a personal iOS meditation-focused application
  • Strengthened fundamentals in frontend, backend, and deployment basics
  • Practiced client communication and lightweight project management
