Experience
Personal Projects
With AI changing everything, I've become passionate about applying the latest tools to real problems, starting with my own. These aren't side projects. They're proof that strategy and execution belong together.
Project 01
Personal CRM & Second Brain · Web + Mobile
Context was scattered across five tools. Notes in one place, contacts in another, calendar somewhere else. No single system connected how I think to how I work.
So I built one. Open Brain is a personal OS on a vector database: 493 contacts, 1,284 interactions, 342 thoughts, tasks, and calendar. All queryable in plain English through Claude and Telegram.
Now I can ask "who did I meet at that fintech event in October?" and get an answer. The context that used to scatter across five tools now lives in one place, connected, searchable, and entirely mine.

Project 02
First Shipped · Still Running · The Beginning
My station runs an unreliable line. Some mornings the tube doesn't come; you only find out when you're already standing on the platform. So I fixed it. Two days, Python, the TfL API, and a WhatsApp message. Every morning at 7:59, my wife and I know exactly when the next tube arrives and whether the line is running, before we leave the house.
It's not a complex product. But it shipped, it's still running, and it changed how I think. This was the first thing I built that solved a real problem for a real person other than me. Everything since has been chasing that feeling.
Thought Pieces
I write at the intersection of financial services, technology, and the ideas worth thinking out loud. Breaking down the trends that matter, without the jargon.
About
Born in Venezuela, raised in Miami, and shaped by two years of high school in Costa Rica. I've always been comfortable navigating different worlds. That comfort with change eventually brought me to London, where I now call home.
I studied Business at Wake Forest University and joined EY straight out of school, drawn to the idea of solving complex problems at scale. Eight years later, I'm a Senior Manager at Deloitte Consulting, focused on AI, data, and operating model transformation for some of the world's largest wealth and asset managers.
At my core, I'm a problem-solver who builds. Advising clients on technology transformation isn't enough if I don't understand what building actually feels like. So I learn by doing: finding real frustrations in my own life and shipping tools to fix them.
Not to become a developer. To be a better strategist, a sharper leader and operator who knows what "possible" actually looks like from the inside.
