Summary
Designer and Fullstack Engineer with a
graphic design background, combining
7+ years shipping production web applications
across the full stack with
3+ years working as a Product Engineer and Product Designer in
cross-functional teams. As an engineer at Arbolitics, a German agrotech
startup, I've owned product UI end-to-end — from concept and
interaction design through production React and Ruby on Rails
implementation — and built the product's UI foundation into an
AI-assisted design system, architected as a
versioned Rails gem, that
cut design time roughly in half and
reduced UI regressions by ~90% across 18 production
views. Background spans startups and public-sector projects in
Chile, consistently working at the intersection of design, product
and engineering to turn complex requirements into maintainable,
production-ready software.

2024 – Present
-
Owned product definition and UI development for
climate risk assessment, field monitoring and agricultural
portfolio management tools used by growers and financial

agricultural specialists to prioritize solutions and build the
product's UI foundation from zero.
-
Architected the Arbolitics design system as a

~90% across 18 production views.
-
Defined agent skill files and CLAUDE.md contracts
that constrain AI code generation to design system components,
eliminating raw HTML drift and reducing manual frontend review
overhead.
-
Automated routine implementation work across 8+
dashboards and filterable data grids, freeing capacity for the
field onboarding flow and the irrigation planner — two of the
product's key differentiators.
-
Enabled real-world validation via Mixpanel/Hotjar
and orchestrated parallel AI agent workflows for component
scaffolding, view implementation and Lookbook preview
generation, maintaining design fidelity and architectural
consistency across agent-generated output.

Collaborated with product leadership and a 3-person
engineering team
to translate roadmap initiatives into production-ready
implementations, maintaining stability during a concurrent
