About
I'm a Senior Backend Engineer at Brubank and a Computer Science graduate student at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (Exactas), where I'm also a Teaching Assistant for Operating Systems and conducting my undergraduate thesis research.
With 4+ years of industry experience across Brubank (one of Argentina's leading digital banks), Modak (US-based fintech startup), and Mercado Libre (Latin America's largest e-commerce and fintech platform), I specialize in distributed systems, high-throughput backend services, and cloud infrastructure, working primarily in Golang and AWS at scale.
Senior Backend Engineer.

Beyond engineering, I care deeply about the intersection of technology and social impact. I've been part of Chicas en Tecnología, contributing to initiatives that bring more women into tech. I also represented UBA at the National Model United Nations (NMUN) in New York City in 2026, where our team received the Outstanding Delegation award, the highest recognition at the conference.
I'm currently exploring PhD programs in Computer Science and Software Engineering opportunities, with a strong interest in relocating to New York City.
