ABOUT ME
I’m a seasoned Senior Product Manager with a strong foundation in Computer Engineering and specialized postgraduate studies in E-Commerce. When I was 15 I became a “professional Youtuber”, at 20 I founded my startup MeetPros, later I worked at StudioGenesis (B2B) as a Mobile Software Engineer, and now, I’m a Product Management Professor at Product Hackers School and a Senior Product Manager at adidas (B2C), driving user engagement on the adidas Running app to improve the lives
of millions of people through sports.
I often build and launch digital side projects to explore new trends, technologies, and business opportunities. In the past few years, I’ve launched mobile games, a SaaS to discover trending topics before they become viral, a Product Management online course, and even an AI online dating coach using Large Language Models (LLMs) APIs.

My SIDE PROJECTs
I am constantly building and launching side projects. I have learned with every single one of them, and with some, I generated some revenue. I’ve built most of them alone, starting from the problem definition, designing and coding solutions, and launching the product to the market.
BYE TO HI
AI Online Dating coach that helps users write their first message after a match in apps like Tinder or Bumble. Using the GPT API for LLM, ByeToHi creates creative messages that trigger conversations.
GeoGyro
iOS geography game using your iPhone’s compass. Users need to guess the orientation towards cities, monuments, and other locations by rotating their phones to the correct orientation.
This app was created in collaboration with Victor Capilla.
TREND TO GROW
TrendToGrow helps content creators like YouTubers or TikTokers to create viral content. Analyzing keywords from Google Trends and other sources identifies the need for content about specific topics.
PRODUCT MANagement course
Online Product Management course where I teach students how to build products from scratch and iterate on them, as well as different frameworks and strategies to develop their role as Product Managers.
CANVA GROWTH MACHINE
A tool that helps Canva Creators grow their audience and income thanks to automatically posting on Pinterest and other social media. Web Scrapping the Canva Creator profile to get the newest content, and sending it to the Social Media APIs, it generates great organic growth for the account.
The tool is not publicly available.
Never Have I ever app
The first Android app I built was a party drinking game. Even though the product was simple and my coding skills were limited back then, it achieved more than 1M downloads and generated a passive income.
Due to lack of maintenance and it not being aligned with my purpose anymore, I discontinued the product.
