Professional Experience: |
In the last 3 years at 6Wunderkinder I've had the chance to develop and strengthen technical, organizational and international relations skills. I could combine my technical duties (design and development of software and systems and technological advice and assessment) with the managerial activities of the team, built and recruited from scratch. Among these activities it's relevant to highlight business development, HR and cross-team coordination duties.
Prior to that I had spent 6 years involved in research and development in the field of health, supported and developed through technology, split into 2 different entities, one being established in the private sector (New Health Foundation) and the other as part of the public entity (FundeSalud. Regional government). That stage was important to develop communication, international relationship and project proposal and development skills. The main role during that stage was tightly bound to research lead and advisor in the technology field.
At the same time and during the last 8 years I've co-developed and co-founded several projects in the field of mobile technology and software, being technology and product lead a common denominator role in all of them.
