About me

Born and raised in El Salvador, now studying Systems Engineering ('28) at the University of Pennsylvania, with a minor in Computer Science.

I like building products that solve real problems, and figuring out what's worth building next.

Outside work: golfing with friends, surfing at Surf City, hiking the Camino de Santiago, watching Formula 1 with my dad, or cheering on Bayern Munich.
