Software Developer
& Entrepreneur
Uruguay

At SNGULAR, one of Europe's leading technology consultancies, I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on complex projects for international clients. Notable projects include:

• ASAP (USA): Integration of third-party APIs into the core platform, with full-stack development in PHP Symfony and React.
• BeatVote (Spain): Real-time custom electoral tracking system with embeddable React widgets for third-party media sites.
• Torcal (Spain): Embedded in a hybrid team of client and SNGULAR developers, contributing across backend, frontend, and DevOps tasks. Stack: PHP Symfony, React.
• SEGITTUR Destinos (Spain): Application for the automated retrieval, normalization, and import of data for tourist destinations. Built with Python and AI agents.

Alongside client work, I built and validated a workflow based on specialized AI agents — covering coding assistance, code review, architecture decisions, and documentation. I ran an internal workshop for the SNGULAR team on integrating LLM agents into software projects, and continue tracking developments in this space to bring relevant practices back to the team and the broader community.

At Acilia Internet — the primary Symfony partner in Spain — I worked as part of the senior team across backend and frontend on projects for major international clients, taking on both technical and leadership roles.

• Condé Nast (France): Built and maintained a tailored, media-compatible CMS to manage the independent publication sites of the Condé Nast group. Full-stack role covering feature development and front-end user experience.
• Cajamar (Spain): Led the development of a CMS managing over 80 websites for Cajamar, one of Spain's largest cooperative banking networks. Served as Team Leader — responsible for project planning, team building, client communication, and technical delivery.

I founded SunsetLabs, a software development company based in Uruguay, which I continue to run alongside my work as a developer. We specialize in web applications, e-commerce, content management, and custom software, serving clients across Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.

Before WordPress or Joomla reached mass adoption, the market lacked accessible tools for building standard web functionality quickly. Together with two partners, I co-founded Mastodonte to address that gap — developing a suite of open-source Symfony plugins that powered e-commerce sites, news platforms, multimedia managers, surveys, and social features.

For several years we were pioneers in the Uruguayan market, working alongside agencies and independent web designers, and actively building the local developer community through workshops and events. Our code ran on hundreds of websites across the region.

As CTO, I led the development team, defined the technical roadmap, and served as the primary liaison with key agency partners.

During the early days of social networking — when Flickr was one of the few image-sharing platforms and Facebook had just opened to the public — I was brought in as CTO to build a full-featured social network from scratch. The platform allowed users to create profiles, connect with friends, publish posts, share images and videos, join interest groups, and chat in real time. Within its first year it reached over 80,000 users across Latin America and Spain.

I led the full technical operation: defining product features from the founder's vision, recruiting and managing the development team, establishing the engineering methodology, and coordinating with QA and infrastructure teams across release cycles.

Following a corporate acquisition, the platform was repositioned for the adult market. During this transition I gained hands-on experience with high-demand infrastructure at scale — millions of users and thousands of requests per second.

I joined Scincro as its first permanent employee — one of Uruguay's first software factories dedicated entirely to the web. In the first two years, we grew from 1 to 15 people, delivering projects for international clients including Diageo (Johnnie Walker) and Castrol.

As the company matured, we began building our own products, including trillonario.com and medicaa.com — early examples of what would later be called startups.

I grew from Junior Developer into the CTO role, leading the team, defining technical direction, and representing the company at conferences and with key clients and partners.
