Software agencies are a strange place to start. Different clients every few months—some of Chile's largest banks, telcos, even ALMA Observatory. Each one a new system to understand. New codebase, new team, new problem.

Co-founded a startup to see if I could build something that actually helped people. PayPal and Disney taught me that big companies are just small teams stacked on top of each other.

But startups pulled me back. Less resources, more constraints. That's where creativity has to show up.

At Texts I touched everything: integrations, reverse engineering, product. When Automattic acquired the company, I stayed on as a consultant for a couple of months.

Helped KIMO grow. Mainframe taught me what's underneath all the abstractions. Now Benepass is teaching me something I don't have words for yet.
