Working together

Or a fourth one you have in mind. Email is fastest.

Tell me what you’re building

Ship a product end to end

Design, build, payments, store submission. Five mobile apps built and two taken through App Store review, so I know where the time actually goes.

Be your technical lead

Architecture, stack choices, hiring and code review for early-stage teams: the decisions that are expensive to undo later. That's Dopper.

Bring AI into a business that already runs

I founded the technology area at a Chilean financial firm: internal platforms, decision engines, and automation adopted across the company.

Outside work

When I'm not building, I'm usually somewhere else. Every stamp below, and the trips worth writing down.
