Q.

Who, in brief?

I'm a full-stack product engineer. I've built fintech platforms under SOC 2, a backend that automates a manual process in regulated finance, AI tools that run a hospitality business, and a marketplace from zero.

Born in Lima, raised in Brooklyn, now in LA. Manhattan is overrated anyway.

Q.

What do you like?

Cooking, a lot. I've cooked at a supper club, and that kitchen is where the ops problems came from.

Hiking, also a lot. Weekends are for trees, and I run every week with Koreatown Run Club.
