I'm a product designer from Barranquilla — now working as a design engineer. Twelve years from agencies to analytics platforms, cruise-line apps and national banking, most recently leading Andes, the design system behind Mercadolibre across eighteen countries.
What's kept me here isn't any single screen — it's the systems underneath. The tokens, the governance, the shared language that lets hundreds of designers and thousands of engineers ship as one product. I care about the unglamorous scaffolding that makes good design repeatable.
This past year I've gone AI-native — my day-to-day now runs on Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini. So I've stopped drawing a line between design and engineering: I prototype in code, ship real interfaces, and let the system and the AI carry the repetitive weight.
End-to-end product thinking — from research and journeys to UI craft and prototypes that ship. Mobile, web, dashboards, marketplaces.
Building, scaling, and maintaining design libraries used by hundreds of designers and engineers. Tokens, components, governance.
Design and engineering in one motion — prototyping in code with AI in the loop: generative UI, LLM-driven flows, and real shipped interfaces. Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini.
Leading design systems orgs across cross-functional engineering teams. Mentorship, design ops, and shipping at platform scale.
/ 03 — Selected Work
A decade of systems, products, and teams — from LATAM's largest marketplace to national banks, cruise lines, and early-stage startups. Five that shaped how I work.
