about

I grew up in Buenos Aires, studied bioengineering at ITBA on a full scholarship, and spent six months in Bologna learning about bioinformatics and eating too much pasta.

I started in the product team at a healthcare AI startup, and now I'm analyzing rare disease markets. I like solving problems that matter, and I like building systems that work.

I'm a process optimizer by nature — mostly because I'm lazy and hate doing the same thing twice. If there's a workflow, I'm probably thinking about how to automate it.

Intern → Product Analyst → Project Manager

Started as an intern automating internal processes with Python and GitHub Actions. Grew into defining product requirements and user stories for a B2B SaaS solution focused on intelligent surgical flow management.

As Project Manager, I standardized client onboarding processes and implemented a QA system that reduced production bugs by 26%. Created Power BI dashboards to track team productivity and facilitated Scrum ceremonies.

Co-Director & Other

SABF is an annual conference at ITBA that brings together 100 university students from 150+ countries with prominent leaders from business, politics, and academia.

I recruited and led a team of 24 volunteers, built an I&D department from scratch, and expanded the IT team. Successfully organized the first in-person forum after two years of pandemic — coordinating 20+ sponsors, 30+ speakers, and 100+ guests.
