CTO at Peripheral

Building AI that checks against the evidence.

Notes on building AI products that hold up in production, and the teams and product thinking behind them. Developer turned engineering leader across Buenos Aires, New York, Berlin and Barcelona.

About

From iOS developer in Buenos Aires to CTO in Barcelona.

I started out shipping iOS apps in Buenos Aires, then moved to New York as the first employee at Pager, a healthcare startup, where I grew the engineering team from two to twenty-five and built the platform behind its telemedicine product.

In Berlin I led engineering teams at data4life and Sauce Labs, and co-founded Abelcare, a startup making laboratory testing accessible. I studied Computer Science and Engineering at the Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Today I'm the CTO at Peripheral, an always-on advisor for organizations that reads what a company knows, surfaces what matters, and cites its sources. Building AI that has to hold up in production is what I write about here.
