When I stepped in as Director of Engineering, things needed a shake-up. We had about 50 engineers—30 of them external consultants—and to be honest, code quality was suffering while costs were through …
For almost two years, I stepped into the Head of Engineering shoes, bringing together an awesome, culturally diverse group of up to 15 engineers from Ukraine, Belarus, Israel, and mostly Spain. The bi…
Ah, Zapiens! I jumped in as the technical co-founder, moonlighting at first with a grand total of 2.5 people on the team. When things started catching fire, I went all-in and ended up building and lea…
I jumped into EyeSeeTea (https://eyeseetea.com/) as a freelance software engineer—and actually, as their very first hire! I teamed up with the three founders to build tech solutions aimed at containin…

Just a fun Groovy implementation of the PageRank algorithm that I put together while taking the MMDS course from Stanford on Coursera.

Regional manager, eBusiness division

Software engineer
Jul 2005 — Dec 2006
Back when I was purely a software engineer, I spent my days geeking out alongside data scientists. We built apps and data pipelines that actually made sense of our clients' massive datasets. I got to …
This is where it all started! My very first gig was as a software engineer intern at my alma mater's research lab (API Uniovi). It was the perfect sandbox to transition fro…
