About me

I'm originally from Argentina, but my upbringing was scattered across different locations due to my adventurous and job-seeking parents.

After completing my degree, I became a digital nomad, moving around for a decade before finally settling in the beautiful French Basque Country.

Since 2010, I have worked remotely with a diverse range of clients, including MIT, Oxford University, University of Exeter, Deloitte, Flovatar, Messapps, Witco, Schneider Electric, and many early-stage startups.

I am a part of the Toptal network of freelancers since 2016.

Besides client work, I also create my own apps for iOS:
Tracing Board (iPad)
Buoywatch
LoveCardz
Mingler
Arbolito
ShipMode

More about me


I have an infinite number of hobbies. I get easily excited about pretty much anything related to sports, art and design, traveling, nature, psychology, sociology, and more. I am curious about human behavior, social norms, and why we don't question the stories we make up more often.

I surf regularly at my local spots, as well as doing a couple of surf trips per year.

I am also learning how to sail and can often be found daydreaming while overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
