A Bit About Me

I partner with founders and teams to turn messy operational workflows into software that is easier to run, inspect, and improve. I’m also building Casamo, an AI tool that helps remote workers find good long-term stays.

Based in Buenos Aires, working US hours. US clients contract with me through HC Studio, my LLC.

Point of View

In the age of AI, taste gets a lot of attention. But the harder skill is deciding what’s actually worth building and following through. Implementation is getting easier while clear judgment and execution are becoming more rare.
