About

My name is Luis, I'm a Software Engineer and Photographer from Mexico City. I have been working in technology for 10+ years, mainly startups. I have served as a Co-Founder, CTO, Head of Engineering, Tech Lead, Backend Engineer, Frontend Engineer, Web Developer, and all sorts of roles within the tech world. Focused on building world-class products and amazing engineering teams.

I'm currently building my own company with one of my lifelong friends where we are building high quality software to help businesses in Mexico run more efficiently and reduce their burden on tax compliance and payments processing. I also spend time working as an advisor/consultant for Musa, where I was previously the Head of Engineering. I helped start the team behind the app which is now used by hundreds of thousands of women all around the world.

In the past, I worked at amazing companies like beek.io, Lyft and GBM, as well as founded and/or helped grow some very interesting startups in Mexico like Higo (Acquired by Payana), Tandem, Yabit (formerly Kiwi), Local-e, and Mercadoni.

As a photographer, I've been taking photos since 2009 and worked extensively as a music and wedding photographer from 2013 to 2017, shooting hundreds of weddings and some very cool concerts. Nowadays, I mostly spend my free time playing with old analog cameras or developing film in my make-shift darkroom/office.
