About Me

Name:

I have more than 25 years of experience in the field of Technology and Engineering. I taught in 3 MBA programs and I’ve been developing innovative applications in many different platforms such as Android, Google Glass, Back and Front End.
I’m passionate about my job, and my business administration skills allow me to manage teams and develop complex, high-impact technology solutions for large companies.
Vision
Entrepreneurship
I love to think ahead and deeply understand my customer's business process in order to create solutions to reduce their costs and generate more revenue. As an entrepreneur, I know well how important is to keep our company's processes always optimized.
Innovation
Technology changes everyday and it is crucial to keep ourselves up-to-date. When we think one technology is solid and mature, something new comes and the old standards are gone. That is why I'm always innovating and staying tuned about the next trend before it is too late.
Agile Development
Using state-of-the-art design patterns and methodologies, I can deliver software with a high level of predictability, improving quality and reducing development costs. The customer is always engaged during the process, creating tailor-made solutions like never seen before!
Knowledge Sharing
Knowledge sharing plays a essential role in creating awareness amongst the stakeholders. I love to learn new things, but I love even more sharing this knowledge with other people. That's why I taught in 3 Universities, wrote dozen of articles and keep spreading what I have learned with my team.
My Work Experience

2021 to current
Software Development Manager
Responsible for managing and developing simulation projects for Amazon Robotics. Created several models for sort centers, fulfillment centers, integrated warehouse, and robotic workcells. This public video shows an example of a photo-realistic simulation our team has developed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VQLqs6s9y0
Successfully owned and developed the concept simulation team. When I joined, 5 engineers were available, and attrition was a big concern. I actively participated in the interview process, recruiting and growing the team to 15 direct reports. No one left the team since I have joined (regrettable attrition).
Optimized the most critical and complex simulation model the team has ever built, running 5 times faster now.
Scaled the usage of an internal simulation framework to 16 external engineers (the goal was to reach 4 developers).
I heavily invest on knowledge transfer and people development. I proposed and delivered a central repository to train and onboard new hires, and promoted 2 engineers in 12 months.
Implemented different mechanisms (Gantt charts, shared docs, team health check) to track and deliver multiple simultaneous projects, while keeping the team’s morale always up.
I have been providing meaningful code reviews to develop my team and improve Amazon’s codebase.
