I turn operational friction into AI systems people actually use.

About my work

Industrial Engineer and Senior Product Owner at pickit. I work at the point where users, operations, product, and code meet—finding the constraint, shipping the smallest complete system, and staying through adoption.

Industrial Engineering

Built a foundation in systems, operations, process design, and quantitative decision-making—the lens that still shapes every product and automation problem.

SYSTEMS FOUNDATION

2015 — 2021Universidad Austral · Industrial Engineering
Built a foundation in systems, operations, process design, and quantitative decision-making—the lens that still shapes every product and automation problem.
This training connects process analysis with product decisions: understanding how a system operates before choosing what to automate.
SEP 2019 — NOV 2020Avon · Production Analyst
Started in operations: detected production-line failures through reporting, automated daily routines in Visual Basic, and built a production-control dashboard in R Studio.
The work combined operational reporting with hands-on tools: Visual Basic for recurring routines and R Studio for making production information easier to monitor.
DEC 2020 — APR 2023shipnow · Product Analyst → Product Owner
Moved from analytics into product ownership: built ML and routing tools, taught PostgreSQL internally, then led UX/IT delivery and cut customer onboarding from two weeks to 20 minutes.
As an analyst, worked with PostgreSQL, Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Hotjar, plus Python models for delay prevention and routing. As Product Owner, led a five-person UX and IT team across the B2B platform, website and driver apps.
APR 2023 — JUL 2024OCASA · Senior Product Owner
Created and consolidated a new Product area, led multiple IT cells and a two-person UX team, and shipped driver, B2B, B2C, last-mile, reverse-logistics, and geolocation improvements.
Coordinated Product, IT, UX and Operations. Delivery included the Android driver app, B2B extranet migration, a B2C mobile app and improvements to address geolocation for routing.
JUL 2024 — PRESENTpickit · Senior Product Owner
Turns stakeholder input into defined and documented features, preparing kickoff artifacts for initiatives prioritized at C-level and aligning product delivery with operational needs.
Beyond defining initiatives, built automation code with AI support, SQL queries and Python reporting workflows. Designed audit-app flows and data structures with UX, separately from the dashboards that consume audit data. Also built tools for kickoff preparation, meeting-transcript follow-up and a plugin marketplace to support day-to-day product work.
2025 — PRESENT · PARALLELIndependent AI practice · AI & Automation Instructor / Builder
Teaches AI one-to-one, runs practical workshops, and delivered an approximately four-month n8n automation program for Mercado Libre teams while building applied AI systems.
Runs alongside the full-time role at pickit. Combines individual AI lessons and practical automation training with building and testing tools; the Mercado Libre program focused on enabling teams to create n8n automations.

Selected product & engineering systems

Real operating problems, turned into usable systems.

Selected personal and product initiatives. Where evidence allows, each case distinguishes an implemented system from product design, a prototype, or work still in validation.

Discord ↔ OpenCode control plane

ImplementedBacklog count not verified

Persistent development-agent sessions with project context and controlled channel handoffs.

Who it helps: Builders using agents across projects.
The problem: Keep an agent connected to the right project across conversations.

A concrete exampleDiscordIllustrative scenario · not a real execution

The situation

Resume a website task from its Discord channel.

What the project contributes

A project-bound session carries the relevant context into the next reviewed change.

My contribution and scope: Persistent sessions, project context and controlled handoffs.

Backlog means outstanding work, not a defect count. Documented counts are partial and dated; they are not summed into a global total.

Close to the user. Precise about the system.

Frame the real constraint

Map the user, process, risk, and observable outcome before choosing a tool.

Deploy the whole thin slice

Combine deterministic workflows, agents, APIs, and human checkpoints around one useful outcome.

Transfer the capability

Document, test, teach, and leave the team with a system it can operate and improve.
