About Me
I enjoy creating things that live on the internet! My formal background is in mechanical design and my interest in web development started back in 2020 when I built my first web application — for a passion of mine, Argentine Tango.
I lead engineering at Gaia Law, building software for contracts and private-company equity. I also build TangoTube, a living history of Argentine tango. My work spans application design, data modeling, search, and developer tooling.
Technology
I work primarily with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and TypeScript, with Go for command-line tools and Rust for audio processing. The projects below show how those tools fit together to solve specific problems.
Experience
- Lead engineering for Gaia's contract management and equity management platforms, from the data model to the interface. Hired and mentor the engineer on my team
- Rewrote most of the application in a major refactor into domain objects, retired a separate Vue frontend, and brought response times down across the app
- Modeled private-company equity as an event-sourced share ledger, so the cap table on any past date can be rebuilt exactly
- Re-architected around clear seams: Rails owns the domain and the interface, Python services own AI contract extraction and vesting math
- Did the design work as well as the engineering, and set the testing bar from model specs to full browser tests
- Built Anymator from scratch: a personalized video greeting card platform that renders every video on a custom Blender server
- Added high-concurrency ticketing to Krasser Stoff: live seat availability and a checkout that holds up under load
- Built search and discovery for Recordsale, the world's largest online vinyl store, with 1,000,000+ records
- Shipped recommendation and image-recognition features across client projects
- Worked across Rails 7, React, TypeScript, Hotwire, PostgreSQL, Redis, and GraphQL
- Upgraded legacy Rails applications and modernized frontends with Hotwire and Stimulus
- Integrated external shipping providers to streamline order fulfillment workflows
- Added retroactive system and integration test coverage to legacy codebases
- Created a Shopify storefront for a fashion brand
- Completed intensive Ruby on Rails bootcamp
- Learned full-stack web development with Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript
- Built multiple web applications as part of curriculum
- Led manufacturing documentation for the Meta 2 augmented reality headset production run, creating all manufacturing drawings from frog design concepts
- Designed high-density networking chassis for Juniper Networks including the MX2020, the industry's highest-capacity edge router
- Developed medical instruments including the Sciton JOULE X laser platform and the IONpath MIBIscope
- Managed full product lifecycle from concept through production with domestic and offshore manufacturers
- Converted the Armadillo and Scorpion unmanned ground vehicles from prototype to production for law enforcement and military use
- Designed injection-molded housings and cast aluminum chassis to Mil-Spec standards with IP65/IP67 ratings
- Conducted Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) testing — vibration, thermal cycling, and drop testing for military qualification
- Created technical drawings and assembly documentation for production

Featured Projects
Products I build and operate, alongside selected work delivered at Nerdgeschoss.
TangoTube
A living history of Argentine tango: like Wikipedia for tango, but curated and built to be explored. Read the Archive from the arrabal to the Mundial, wander Buenos Aires on an Atlas drawn as an old street plan, and watch 100,000+ performances, each matched to the exact recording it dances to. I design, build, and run all of it.
Anymator
Built at Nerdgeschoss: a personalized video greeting card platform with a custom Blender pipeline for rendering videos from user-provided text and images.
TangoCloud
A music application for exploring historical tango recordings, building playlists, and managing playback queues.
