Senior Android Engineer with over 6 years of experience building scalable, mission-critical mobile applications. My core expertise lies in modern Android development using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, with a strong background in Fintech, mobile payment architectures, and hardware integrations.

I am passionate about bridging the gap between pixel-perfect UI design and robust, offline-first mobile architecture. I strongly advocate for engineering best practices, including automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and the integration of AI tools to reduce technical debt and optimize the software development lifecycle.

Currently completing my degree in Systems Engineering at Universidad ORT Uruguay, I am always looking for complex technical challenges where I can build secure, high-impact products from the ground up.
