About

I’m a founding engineer at nBlock, founder of CABO, and an electrical-engineering student in signal processing for AI.

Engineer · Founder · Sailor

At nBlock we build software and machine-learning solutions for B2B clients — industrial companies, retailers, and distributors. I work across the stack and own the technical side of most of what we ship.

Outside nBlock I founded CABO, a platform for sailing championships, and co-founded UruHack. I’ve represented Uruguay internationally in Olympic-class sailing and am president of ILCA Uruguay, the largest Olympic sailing class association in the country.
