Head of Education at Platzi. I build learning products in Latin America, and lately I've been building the tools that build them. I also advise a few teams on putting AI to work where it actually earns its place.

I've spent the last six years at Platzi helping people learn. I started in community, then B2B, then built Platzi's English Academy, and now I lead all of our educational content. Somewhere along the way I also fell for the building itself: shipping product, writing code, figuring out where AI actually helps a learner and where it just gets in the way. This is where I keep the longer thoughts and the things I've made.
