About Me

Building AI-powered products, not just writing code

Hey there! I'm Nacho

I'm 39 and I come from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've spent 15+ years building software, and these days I focus on shipping AI-powered products — from LLM integrations to agentic workflows — currently as a Senior Software Developer at itti.

My Professional Journey

I started my career as a trainee at Everis, writing PL-SQL on Linux systems. From there I moved into backend architecture with .NET at Oracle and Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, then into frontend roles at companies like Santander, Crehana, CHEP, and The Flock — picking up freelance projects along the way, alongside my full-time jobs. At Better Collective I led the migration of 22 high-traffic sports websites to Next.js 14 and React Server Components. Today I combine my full-time role at itti with two ventures of my own: Deployate, my AI agent startup, and QO, a document-search platform I'm building for the airport infrastructure sector.

Current Focus

These days the interesting problems are all in retrieval: how you chunk a document, choose what to embed, and re-rank results so the model actually answers with the right context instead of guessing. I founded Deployate, which sells and supports customers over WhatsApp and Instagram through AI agents, and I'm building QO, a private NotebookLM for the airport infrastructure sector, RAG pipeline and all. I bring the same product-first mindset to itti, on a foundation of React, Next.js, TypeScript, and AWS — I'd rather ship something useful than chase the newest framework.

In one line

AI is a tool for building better products, not a headline feature — I care about what actually ships.

    Founder

    DeployateFreelance

    Founded and built an AI agent platform that handles customer service, sales, and scheduling over WhatsApp and Instagram for real estate, retail, and education businesses. I own the whole product: the conversational flows, the lead-qualification logic that decides who's worth a human's time, and the analytics dashboard that shows owners what's actually happening in their inbox.

    Product Engineer

    QOFreelance

    Building QO, a private, NotebookLM-style knowledge platform for the airport infrastructure sector: teams upload tenders, technical specs, and contracts and get cited, source-linked answers instead of digging through folders by hand. I built the retrieval pipeline end to end — OCR for scanned documents, chunking, embeddings, hybrid semantic and keyword search, and a re-ranking step that decides which passage actually answers the question. Documents stay in the customer's own AWS S3 bucket; nothing leaves their infrastructure.

    Leading technical initiatives for enterprise clients, with a growing focus on bringing AI tooling and agentic workflows into how the team actually ships software. One of them is a payments client in Paraguay, where we built the systems that coordinate physical card distribution logistics and POS terminal management, including integrations for vending machines that accept card payments. Not a slide in a deck — code running in production on tight deadlines.

    Software Developer

    Futbol Sites - Better Collective

    Built and maintained 22 high-traffic sports websites where SEO and page speed directly moved the business's ad revenue. Since those sites lived almost entirely off organic search, this is where I really learned web performance, Core Web Vitals, and Google Search Console — what actually moves rankings and what tanks them. Migrated the stack to Next.js 14 and React Server Components on AWS, and used New Relic and CloudWatch to catch performance regressions before they hit search rankings.

    The FlockFreelance

    Key contributor to CUX, an AI-powered mental health product supporting people through depression and anxiety. I designed and shipped the OpenAI-driven conversation flows — the hard part wasn't the API call, it was getting the tone right for a product where a bad response actually matters.

    Led the frontend team on an inventory system for the world's largest pallet-pooling company, tracking their assets across warehouses on every continent. Built the React and Next.js SSR app that did the actual counting, mapped warehouse locations with the Google Maps API, and kept the interface simple enough that warehouse staff — not just engineers — could use it.

    Frontend Web Developer

    Santander Tecnología Argentina

    Worked on the eCheq and Invoices squads of Santander's home banking platform, building the product that let businesses manage their physical checks entirely from the web — loading, endorsing, depositing, and tracking them without a branch visit. Maintained React and Next.js micro frontends that handled real customers' real money, which meant unit and end-to-end tests weren't optional, and neither was a working GitLab CI/CD pipeline.
