I'm Mexican (Saltillo, Coahuila). I studied Digital Systems and Robotics Engineering at Tec de Monterrey, a degree that sits between electronics and low-level software, and that's where I found my passion for building software.
Software took me to Monterrey, Querétaro, Tijuana, San Diego and Silicon Valley, where I've spent the last six years at Meta, most of that time in product-focused teams, making the WhatsApp Business App more useful to businesses.
Throughout my career I've worked on different types of business software, learning to build a better product with each experience.
I also like starting things of my own. I co-owned a restaurant-bar in Saltillo and co-founded a non-profit where I tried to improve citizen participation with mobile technology.

I work on the Meta Verified and Meta One subscriptions, which give businesses extra features in the WhatsApp Business App. My work spans the whole stack: the subscription infrastructure itself, plus some of the benefits, including the custom web page and the metering behind benefits that have a quota or limit.
Business Broadcast is a new paid messaging product built from the ground up, bringing businesses more useful features than regular broadcast lists. I worked on pricing and billing, designed privacy-aware metering and logging, and iterated on the product through multiple experiments.
