Monterrey, Nuevo León, MX Delivery & Program Leadership

Technology delivery leader — 20+ years running global engineering programs where quality, schedule, and governance have to hold at the same time.

Delivery leader building AI-native engineering operations — 15 years early to the tools that became standard, now orchestrating agentic workflows with the same governance discipline.

A1Grail

Collectibles marketplaces treat trading-card and collectibles sellers as an afterthought — poor search, no trust tooling, no domain awareness.

BRIEF

A collectibles marketplace built as a testing ground for AI-first delivery: agentic workflows run project coordination, a virtual workforce handles operational roles, and the MVP (listings → search → payments) was planned with CPM scheduling and a groomed Jira backlog.

A full delivery pipeline — CI/CD, baseline schedule, dependency-linked backlog — operating with a team of one plus orchestrated agents.

A1-SOTA

Test automation frameworks age into vendor lock-in and maintenance debt.

BRIEF

An open-source AI-first testing framework pairing AI test generation with standalone Playwright TypeScript export — zero lock-in by design, verified through procurement-style gate questions before adoption.

A public reference implementation of AI-augmented QA practice.

PRJ-03 DEVELOPMENT

AMPHORA / SEICHI

Mid-sized Mexican companies face fast-moving AI regulation (LFPDPPP, 2026 federal AI reforms) with no in-house governance capability.

BRIEF

A productized AI-governance readiness diagnostic — a structured advisory methodology, not bespoke consulting.

W1/W2 delivery kits built; go-to-market gated on engagement-clearance confirmation.

  • AI governance advisory
PRJ-04 FORMATION

Spawn Point A.C.

Kids in Monterrey's colonias populares rarely get early access to English, programming, or AI literacy.

BRIEF

A nonprofit teaching all three using trading card games as the engagement hook, across four learning tracks (Builders, Creators, Strategists, Inventors).

18-month conservative plan selected, Year-1 budget modeled ($300K MXN, sponsor-concentration caps), PMBOK charter in progress.

regio.ma

Monterrey's brutalist and industrial spaces, read through the Japanese concept of ma — the charged emptiness between things.

BRIEF

A 9-frame curated grid with a locked Lightroom preset and explicit gate criteria for when black-and-white is permitted.

6 of 9 frames locked; demonstrates that the same gate-criteria discipline applies to creative work.

about

People remember me for
raising the uncomfortable question before the release, not during the post-mortem.
The best thing I bring
structure where there wasn't any — quality as a system that holds without me in the room, not an activity someone performs.
Working with others, I generate
clarity under pressure — what's true, what's at risk, who owns the next decision.

What I do exceptionally well

  • I build quality systems that keep working after I leave the room.

    IPS Automation Framework adopted as team-wide standard; near-100% test asset traceability across Oracle Cross-Solutions.

  • I estimate and plan work that holds under change.

    Estimation and planning that held across Waterfall QA programs, mobile releases, and Agile artifacts over the 8-year Inflection Point engagement.

  • I adopt emerging tooling ahead of my organization and drive it to standard — a 15-year pattern.

    Selenium @ Nokia moderation portal (2012) → Cypress @ Direct Mail (~60% validation-time reduction) → Playwright + AI workflows @ Oracle (~30% regression-cycle reduction) → agentic AI orchestration (current).

Problems I specifically solve

  • Defects reaching production in regulated environments.

    Zero regulatory defects across 8 years MFS Compliance; zero critical escapes across all managed Oracle release cycles; BofA IVV.

  • Tool and vendor selection under cost pressure.

    Make-or-buy and cost-benefit analysis standardizing QA/Dev tooling at Oracle; Gate 0 procurement evaluation practice.

  • Release decisions made fast with incomplete information.

    Inflection Point late-night rollback (future-feature code bleed → rollback called → UAT gate institutionalized); Oracle P0 war rooms.

Why people seek me out

  • I translate in both directions — client demo and code review in the same afternoon.

    Direct Mail SME: demos to management, business needs → RTM-traceable requirements, hands-on Cypress/AWS.

  • I raise the level of the people around me.

    Managed 4 senior engineers; ~30% onboarding reduction via process + documentation; Nokia moderation team throughput and defect-detection turnaround.

  • I name the risk before the release, not in the post-mortem.

    The rollback call; VoC advocacy in high-stakes triage; adversarial model evaluation at Outlier.
