Glide was a start-up focused on simplifying the end-to-end real estate buying process that was acquired by Compass Inc. in March 2021. ▪ I assembled a team of 20+ people in Argentina from scratch, driving all of it: hiring, team well-being, retention, payroll. ▪ I lead a team of 12 Engineers who support the continuity and development of Glide even after the acquisition in a few different areas: Web Engineering, Mobile apps, Data Engineering and QA Automation. Some key goals achieved recently: + Assembled an Android team who built the Glide Android App v1 launched in Feb 2022 + Transitioning and coaching one new hired EM and an IC into EM (in progress) Some key facts to mention as an IC (prior to my current role): + I ran a production application with ~6k daily active users with high availability and keeping costs to a budget. + I replaced CircleCI, with a bill of almost $2000 / month, with an Open Source alternative using EC2 spot instances resulting in a $350 monthly bill.
I was in charge of starting a team on April 2019. Hired all kind of positions: Engineers, Designers, Recruiters to the point of having 20+ co-workers in Argentina. Tech stuff didn't stop: + Replaced CircleCI with a self hosted instance of Drone CI. Time from repo push to production decreased from 40-45 mins to just 20. Less flaky E2E tests. Happy engineers that now have a pipeline they can trust. + Put the whole infrastructure in HA: AWS Fargate to ensure even spread across AZs and not having many containers in the same EC2 instance; upgraded Postgres from 9 to 11 with MultiAZ. + Happy helped the team as a Fullstack Engineer where needed.
I Co-founded a small development agency, completely managing two projects including a small team of 3 Engineers. We successfully delivered three customer-facing products based on my proven stack composed of LoopbackJS (back end) + PostgreSQL (database) and Angular + Material Design (front end) and NativeScript for mobile apps when needed.
I worked on their two products: PayrollPanda and Jibble. Both were based on NodeJS, MongoDB and Backbone. Some important things I’ve accomplished: + Simplified architecture with the replacement of a RabbitMQ instance with a much simpler job scheduler (Agenda). + Introduced automated tests and a reliable build and deploy process to Heroku through Travis CI Server.
Perl Developer. I fixed bugs, implemented new features and made some recommendations to modernize a rather old-styled MLM (multi-level marketing) system written in Perl and using MySQL.
Being the frontend architect and lead developer for client Onapsis (Yeoman, Grunt, Bower, RequireJS, BackboneJS, jQuery) I created the first version of the modern FE for their main product. For another client I was heavily involved in solving some performance issues with the database (MySQL), for which we hired Percona, conducting an analysis and successfully implemented a variety of fixes.
