Worked on a project for Coca Cola, using image detection and processing with OpenCV native Library, Vuforia library from Qualcomm for augmented reality and objects recognition.

Led the development of a project for Clarin (local newspaper), using Glide, Picasso, Volley, and Android SDK.
Clarín is one of the most important newspapers in Argentina. I worked on creating their mobile application. I acted as a technology leader of the team, overseeing 3 other engineers. The main goal was to allow users to read the news from their phones after paying a subscription fee. With this application, the company was able to attract more readers and increase revenue. This also established a new way of reading a newspaper, as it was the first newspaper in Argentina to have its Android and iOS app.
MercadoPago is the main virtual wallet in Argentina and other Latin American countries. I worked as part of the core team as an Architect, helping to develop good quality modules and libraries, including a UI library. This library was made with different UI components that were used on MercadoLibre and MercadoPago. This also helped the developers to add their modules to each app without touching the UI or the colors. This resulted in an increased speed on development and ramping-up of the new app versions.
Riv enables users to use their Samsung phone using just voice. It integrates AI, ML & RPA for accelerated app workflows using Google Assistant and Knox (Samsung library). Acted as Sole Android engineer for this project, also doing a refactoring to the obsolete code and adding the integration with Google Assistant and Twilio.
