With 15+ years experience in IT development and management, I am skilled at integrating technology, communications, and marketing in today's business processes.

Based in the Greater Boston area since 2008, I built my consulting career while developing a public e-mail system in the mid 80s and an e-commerce regional platform for tourism in the 90s, among other highlights. I'm passionate about helping companies and institutions set priorities and create the balance they want between technology and business results.

My background in Marketing and Communications gives me a special edge when it comes to web projects and multimedia applications, areas that usually require not only technical expertise but also design and visual skills.

Among my clients you can find Fortune 500 firms, such as HP and Phillip-Morris, non-profit agencies, such as the United Nations-International Labor Organization, and also family-operated retail shops. In every case, I assisted them to implement state of the art technology to increase exposure and revenue.

When I'm not coding or reading about technology, I'm usually watching movies, doing photo shoots or hiking. I like to get involved with humane societies and environmental non-profits, both as a volunteer and as a programmer. I’ve traveled to over 15 countries and backpacked Western Europe twice. I speak English, Spanish and German.

I'm also a regular speaker for the American Chamber of Commerce in Peru and a consultant for United Nations - International Labor Organization Latin America & Caribbean.
