About myself:
In my diverse career, I have conceptualized and constructed numerous innovative ideas. As an entrepreneur, software/hardware developer, designer, and artist, I have collaborated with leading businesses across various sectors, including Google, Amazon, Marriott, Disney, and Siemens.
My background is in Tech RnD, applied to Entertainment, Digital Media, Interactive Media, Wellness, and "cyber-physical systems" -anything that works in a computer and real space like a building, on a stage, or a city.
I started tweaking video games for C-64 in the mid-'80s and then developing content management systems, I/O cards for PC, and e-commerce platforms in the mid-'90s. Computer vision, RFID, and other interactive systems in California from 2002.
Based in Los Angeles, I also had the opportunity to work in multicultural and multidisciplinary environments on screen-based experiences and large-scale interactive installations at major locations and venues in the form of public art, live shows, and media productions promoting cultural heritage, environment, and inclusion.
I have a multimodal design framework that I also apply when I work with entrepreneurs at M Accelerator:
- Deconstruct problems through multiple points of view.
- Identify the right audiences for startups.
- A Series of workshops to transform strategies into actionable and repeatable tasks.
- Training for Sales and Marketing teams.
- Product Design & Development.
- Visual Design
- Power of Storytelling
- Customer/User Journey
