Electronic Engineer — cloud and platform engineering, infrastructure and Agile delivery

Argentina

About

I am an Electronic Engineer from Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (FRBA), working in cloud and platform engineering, infrastructure and Agile delivery.

At ExxonMobil I am Product Owner for Compute (Cloud & Platform Engineering), leading engineering teams that design, build and scale infrastructure and platform services across Windows, Linux, virtualization, storage and cloud environments. I work with senior engineers and architects on system architecture, technical standards and platform roadmaps, and drive automation-driven infrastructure built on Terraform, AWS services, APIs and workflow orchestration. Before that I was a Scrum Master and Software / Infrastructure Engineer at the same company, developing and automating solutions with Python, APIs, infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines.

As an Agile delivery leader I work with Scrum, SAFe, DevOps and enterprise governance, focusing on delivery flow, dependency management, stakeholder alignment and continuous improvement.

I am studying for a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence at Universidad de Palermo.

    • Shipped 90+ features from written design docs (PRDs) to production in five weeks, across 1,700+ commits in three repositories.
    • Set up an Acceptance environment on Railway alongside Production, with a promotion process and pre-applied per-tenant database migrations.
    • Added a third messaging channel (Messenger), outbound media through the Meta Graph API, and team email notifications (Resend).
    • Built sales analytics (conversion, loss reasons, process times, per-seller performance), lead assignment and subscription billing with AI-usage metering.
    • Authored eight custom Claude Code agent skills that automate bot debugging, replay testing, classifier reporting and dataset labelling for the team.
