Available Berlin-based 10+ years

Senior Engineer. Now focused on quality.

With a decade of experience across e-commerce, media, and MarTech, I've shipped checkout flows, migrated platforms, and debugged things nobody documented. Lately I've been learning that the best work I ever did was catching problems before they reached users, so I'm moving toward QA and quality engineering full time.

About me

Engineer by craft, detail-oriented by nature.

"I've always been the person on the team asking 'but what happens when a user does X?' Turns out that's a job."

For ten years I've worked on the seams between product, engineering, and growth. I started as a frontend developer in Colombia and spent the last four years in Berlin at fashion e-commerce platform, working on migrations, checkout flows, and web performance.

The company closed its e-commerce operations in 2025 and I was laid off. I used that time to be honest with myself. The parts of engineering I was best at (identifying edge cases, writing precise documentation, caring about how things feel for real users) those aren't dev skills. They're QA skills, so that's the direction I'm heading.
