   Global digital transformation firm serving Fortune 500 companies. Two high-impact client engagements, in fintech and OTT media.

   • NERA (Banco Galicia) — acted as de facto Technical Lead for a 6-engineer frontend team on the MVP of Argentina's largest bank's agri-finance platform, running sprint ceremonies, code review as approver and architecture decisions. Delivered on schedule; the platform has since grown to USD 1.2B+ in financing operations, 12,000+ registered producers, and a joint venture with Santander across Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
   • Defined NERA's frontend architecture for credit and financing workflows, handling multi-product structures — credits in pesos, USD and grain tokens — under high reliability requirements.
   • DTV GO (DirecTV Latin America) — solved a critical integration problem in the OTT subscriber self-care app, where every vendor and add-on carried an incompatible data schema.
   • Introduced an Adapter pattern to normalise divergent vendor schemas, so new subscription plans could be added without breaking existing flows.
