Product Lead · Santiago & Lima

I lead digital products for companies in Chile and Peru.

I'm Product Lead at Be Quarks, where I design solutions for collecting and making sense of information at scale — retail monitoring platforms, AI-powered data capture tools, competitive pricing intelligence. Different industries, different problems, same approach: understand the business, ship something that works.

In practice that means field-data apps, indoor location with LoRaWAN, computer vision for price capture, and the dashboards and reports that turn all of it into decisions.

Outside of work, my interests run wide — classical literature, the history of religions, Buddhism, the kind of rabbit hole that leaves me three books deep before I've noticed. I believe most things are interesting if you approach them with enough curiosity — and I tend to approach most things with too much of it. I speak Spanish, English, and German at a pace slower than I'd like, and I hold strong opinions on things nobody asked about.
