From industrial engineering to crypto. Building payments people can actually use.

Across 13 years of building products and projects, my path has run from industrial engineering to crypto. Today, my world is stablecoins. I'm a Senior Product Manager building crypto-native payment infrastructure for emerging markets: on/off-ramps, local payment methods, and cards that let people move and spend digital dollars across borders. My work lives where blockchain rails meet local payment systems, turning stablecoins into money people can actually spend.

My background is unusual for a payments PM, and I treat that as an advantage. I trained as a mechanical engineer and spent my early career in complex industrial projects, cost analysis, and supply chain. That work taught me to break ambiguous systems into parts, follow the data, and ship under constraint. That systems-thinking has shaped every product I've built since.

For the past 7+ years I've focused on digital financial products, moving from one of Latin America's largest banks to international fintechs. That path left me equally at home in a bank's regulated payments stack and in a crypto-native product, and that bridge between traditional finance and crypto is where I do my best work. What connects all of it is a belief I keep coming back to: products built with clarity and purpose can genuinely improve people's lives, especially for the millions in emerging markets who deserve the same access to the global economy as everyone else.
