About

Design Engineer and Frontend Developer. I own the component architecture and how the UI ships end-to-end — the component patterns, accessibility standards, and interaction models that run across entire product suites. Equally at home in a Figma file and a React codebase.

I lead by building: contributing production frontend directly, setting the technical standards a team codes against, and mentoring the people who carry them forward. Across healthcare, fintech, and edtech, I've turned design intent into performant, accessible, maintainable code , bringing clarity and structure to complex product ecosystems.

Long before design systems became the norm, there was just a blank stylesheet and the challenge of making something beautiful out of nothing. From co-organizing CSS Conf Argentina to teaching fundamentals at university level, a deep obsession with the cascade style sheets, specificity, and the art of building things that look exactly right has been a constant thread throughout the work.
CSS is a craft, it's art, it's design.
