About Me

I’m a software engineer with over 5 years of experience, currently working remotely from Paraguay for a Chilean healthcare tech company. My work focuses on building scalable, API-driven applications using Laravel, Vue 3, and modern cloud architectures.

At Elipse.ai, I develop solutions enhanced with generative AI for hospitals and clinics in Chile — Christus Muguerza, Achs, NOVOCHILE, GEM and ENEL Chile — automating medical appointment scheduling and communication via WhatsApp. These systems have reduced manual workloads by up to 60%, cut response times to under 10 seconds, and resolved 70%+ of repetitive patient inquiries.

In parallel, I’m working on my thesis researching zero-knowledge proofs, blockchain interoperability, and zkBridge protocols—exploring the intersection of cryptography and distributed systems.

Outside of work, I enjoy learning about trading and investing in livestock farming, and I’m interested in how technology can create real-world impact beyond software.
