Nothing was given. So I built the path.
Nobody handed me a way in. I earned a scholarship to study Systems Engineering at Universidad Metropolitana — and not for grades alone. It was a civic-commitment scholarship, earned by showing up to help at schools across my community.
That's the through-line of everything since. Put people first, and the results follow. It's how I got into university, how I've built every team from zero, and how I lead product today.
I worked my way into product from the code up — first writing it, then deciding what gets built and why. Now I lead it at Cashea, Latin America's #1 BNPL. And I'm not done: I want to keep growing, and keep building things that have to actually work — for the people who need them most.
"It was an opportunity I took trusting in myself — I had the skills, the drive, and a challenge I simply couldn't say no to."
