Having started as a web designer, soon I felt attracted towards the engineering problems more commonly found in backend engineering.

My objective at the start of my career was to get a solid touch in different areas, such as mobile and web app development, and in using different tech that would stretch my intellect; Then I looked into transitioning into a more product oriented setup, backend engineering, and leading or self-governed roles.

In the future I dream of building my own company around a product.

    I found the rare and priceless chance to use Haskell at work and being part of a Product-based company at Channable. There I was part of an outstanding team of Engineers who shared the same high standards and eagerness to learn, providing an environment for thick and fast learning. There I developed an API Gateway in Haskell that processed every single request involved in the tool, allowing Channable to open parts of its API to the public, and worked on a new, highly scalable and optimized Haskell component to replace Apache Spark, responsible to process millions of rules and products every day, where milliseconds make a significant difference.
