Software Engineer @ Dropbox Worked on photo sync engine improvements on both Android and iOS Dropbox app From October 2016 to August 2018 (1 year 11 months) San Francisco Bay AreaLead Developer @ ClassroomTv.com I single-handedly bootstrapped the product in order to get early stage funding for the company, that allowed us to grow the engineering team towards a faster execution, from which I assumed the role of the lead developer. In a small and agile team, I participated in all stages of the development cycle, from brainstorming, prioritizing tasks into well-defined sprints, to actively participate in the design phase, where I fell in love with the subject and recognizing the importance of UI/UX as one of the core product differentiation. On the other hand, I took the challenge to deliver fast and maintaining a high software engineering standard by establishing practices such as code reviews and end to end testing via continuous integration. As result, the customer base expanded and the company won the Chilean CORFO funding after the first year of operation. Some of the core features I worked on:- Created an HTML5 video player that allows the user to synchronize different learning content at a specific time point of the video lecture, such as slides, video concepts, quiz, etc. (BackboneJS, JQuery)- Developed the integration that allows users to link the video lectures from different sources, including Youtube, Vimeo, Kaltura, and a custom hosted video solution using AWS S3. (BackboneJS, PHP Yii, AWS)- Developed the test module based on “Item Responsive Theory” model to grade students learning performances. (PHP Yii, MySQL, Octave) From September 2011 to September 2014 (3 years 1 month) ChileSenior Software Engineer @ Facebook Tech lead, Android San Francisco Bay AreaSoftware Engineer @ Amazon I worked on several projects in Amazon, I started in the Mobile Shopping team where I contributed to the main Amazon shopping app for iOS, by focusing on gathering business metrics through AWS Mobile Analytics, from which I helped to launch the app in Mexico and Brazil region. At the same time, I also contributed to the Amazon Prime Now launch for iOS. In the second year, I had the chance to lead a project that aligns with the company goal to shorten the mobile app release cycle, where I also took the ownership of the iOS build system in order to improve the internal continuous integration system for mobile development. Amazon Shopping App iOS (Objective-C)- Implemented the user metric measurement via Amazon Mobile Analytics - Implemented the feature parity for both Brazil and Mexico expansion - Contributed to the Amazon Today Widget launch- Contributed to the Amazon Prime Now launchProject Veloce (ReactJS, AWS, Ruby Sinatra)- Built a continuous delivery platform for mobile applications.

From October 2014 to September 2016 (2 years) SeattleCo-founder @ Maid Your House I started www.maidyourhouse.com as a side project with a business model in mind to supply the on-demand cleaning services in Santiago Chile. The customer can easily book the service with a professional cleaner according to their availability. The project gave me the learning opportunity to grow both technically as well as learning how to run a business. I ended up co-founding the company with 2 others where we applied the lean startup principles. We reached the break-even after 6 months of operation. I was mainly in charge of the technical aspect of the project:- Created the Single Web Application that handles the main user actions to complete the booking workflow, including service selection, time selection, and payment. (AngularJS, ExpressJS, RethinkDB)- Integrated with local payment options (Webpay, Paypal)- Created an administration portal with a customized calendar to manage the service schedules for cleaners.
