Manifesto
Everything I do, from technology to product design, starts with the same question: how can this make someone’s life better, simpler, more human?
I believe we are all born to put our knowledge and skills at the service of others, to make the world a more human, joyful and meaningful place. That is the lens I bring to every project I take on.
I am a generalist by nature. I have been designing my entire life without knowing it was design: fixing things, rewiring networks, building solar lamps after an earthquake, writing Django apps, designing products and negotiating with suppliers in different countries.
What I do
Technology stack
Architecture and operation of web platforms, infrastructure, CRM, data, security and IT across an international nonprofit.
Web platforms
Custom WordPress, Shopify and Django systems, REST APIs, integrations, migrations, SEO, performance and Cloudflare operations.
Salesforce and data
Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud as central CRM, connected to WordPress, Shopify, payments, Marketing Cloud and reporting workflows.
Automation
Processes that used to take days and now take minutes: accounting, logistics, registrations, donations, reporting and operations.
Large events
Digital systems for international events of 2,000+ attendees: accommodation, transport, check-in, payments and real-time operations.
Product design
Objects and systems made around real people: lamps, cradles, cases, chairs, ramps, emergency PPE and off-grid solar lights.

RCA portfolio
Designing before knowing it was design
My RCA application portfolio brought together eight projects made for specific people and contexts: Tondo Lamp, Joseph’s Cradle, Maria’s Case, Papa’s Lamp, Material Coronavirus, Solar Lamps, Rubble Lamps and Nan’s Ramp. The thread is simple: useful objects, built with available materials, for real human needs.
