Software engineer and product builder, shipping production systems end-to-end.
Computer vision for the family tortillería.
Fine-tuned YOLOv8n on 1,000+ hand-labeled frames to track tortilla-bag production from a live RTSP camera feed. Custom IoU-based multi-object tracker with ROI polygon filtering and a state-machine event pipeline (APPEARED, PACKAGED, EXITED). 91.7% mAP50 deployed at 2-5 ms/frame on a CUDA production PC, replacing manual session counts entirely.

Multi-tenant workforce management platform in daily use at La Mano: biometric kiosk clock-in with face recognition and PIN fallback, manager-approval workflows, multi-location admin tooling, and PDF reporting for hours and temperature compliance. 40+ REST endpoints, scheduled cron jobs, Slack notifications, deployed as a PWA. Replaced paper timesheets across 30+ daily users. Owned solo as founding engineer.

Read case study →PM and lead developer. Shipped in 5 weeks against a 3-month estimate.
Led a 4-engineer team at Delete The Divide (LA County initiative) to design and ship a mentorship platform serving 1,000+ underserved residents, saving the county ~$50K. Role-based access, real-time notifications, admin tooling for 100+ mentor applications. Ran SCRUM ceremonies as PM and lead developer simultaneously.

Read case study →UC Berkeley Data Science grad (‘25) shipping production software end-to-end, full-stack web platforms, and computer-vision systems used in real operations. I like owning problems from “non-technical stakeholder describes a workflow” all the way through “deployed, monitored, iterated.”
What I’ve built recently as the founding engineer for La Mano Tortilleria (LA County, family-owned retail):
Earlier, at Delete The Divide (LA County), I led a 4-engineer team to design and ship a mentorship platform for 1,000+ residents in 5 weeks, saving the county ~$50K.
What I’m looking for: Full-stack Software Engineer or Associate Product Manager roles on teams that ship to real users. Strongest in TypeScript, React/Next.js, Python, REST APIs, and ML/CV. Bilingual (English + Spanish). Open to SF Bay Area, LA, and remote.
Came full circle. Built production software for the place that started it all. Operator instinct and engineering in the same room.
Proved that product instincts built in a tortillería translate directly to enterprise software teams. Shipped 5x faster than scoped while running the team.
This is where the story starts. Running a real business before college built the operational instinct that everything since has been built on.
Dual Pilgrim: completed both the Camino de Santiago and the Kumano Kodo, the only two UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage routes that offer dual recognition. A decade of professional salsa dancing. Perpetually adding countries.
Open to Full-Stack SWE and APM roles. If you’re building something that matters, I want to hear about it.
