Product Engineer with a graphic design background, combining 3+ years designing and shipping data-centric products with 7+ years building production-ready web applications. As a founding team member at Arbolitics, a German agrotech startup, I've owned end-to-end UI development — from concept to production implementation — and built an AI-assisted design system that cut design time roughly in half and reduced UI regressions by ~90%. My background spans startups and public-sector projects in Chile, working at the intersection of product, design, and engineering: prioritizing roadmaps with cross-functional teams, then shipping the interfaces myself.
- Owned product definition for growers and financial institution users, collaborating with product leadership and agricultural specialists to prioritize solutions, then translating them into a roadmap executed by a 3-person engineering team.
- Built the product's UI foundation from zero as a founding team member, owning every user-facing interface end-to-end — from initial design through production React implementation.
- Evolved that foundation into the Arbolitics design system, using an AI-assisted, code-centric workflow to cut design time roughly in half, enable real-world validation via Mixpanel/Hotjar, reduce UI regressions by ~90%, and scale consistently across 18 views spanning the production web app and website; the system remains in active use.
- Automated routine implementation work across 8+ dashboards and filterable data grids, freeing capacity for higher-value design work on field onboarding — core to the customer experience — and the irrigation planner, one of Arbolitics' key differentiators.
- Applied qualitative and quantitative research methods to drive product decisions and improve user experience.
- Designed and maintained the V3 design system in close collaboration with engineering teams.
- Contributed to frontend architecture through SASS codebase maintenance and design system implementation.
- Designed and maintained customer-facing financial products and dashboards.
- Partnered with startups, agencies and organizations to define, design and build digital products.
- Worked directly with stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions and user experiences.
- Delivered projects across the full lifecycle: discovery, design, frontend implementation, deployment and optimization.
- Built scalable interfaces and web applications balancing product objectives, technical constraints and user needs.
- Led client-facing discussions, technical implementation and iterative product improvements.
- Coordinated delivery across government stakeholders, communications teams and software developers.
- Recruited and led the web development team.
- Defined and delivered the UX/UI strategy for a large-scale public digital platform.
- Collaborated with designers and technology partners using Agile methodologies.
- Developed a responsive component system and frontend architecture using HTML5, CSS3 and Bootstrap.
- Built and maintained documentation systems supporting product consistency and scalability.
- Collaborated with researchers, industrial designers and hardware developers to reconstruct historical industrial prototypes.
- Developed Python-based tooling to support hardware reconstruction workflows.
- Bridged research, design and implementation throughout the project lifecycle.
- Coordinated agency stakeholders, brand representatives and venue operators.
- Translated creative concepts into interactive digital experiences.
- Delivered production, installation and maintenance of interactive systems.
