About
I started programming at ten. The curiosity is still there.
I’m a technology entrepreneur. Over more than 30 years I’ve had the privilege of building and leading several companies in IoT, smart cities and software, including DPS Automation (now Kapsch TrafficCom Argentina), Cloud Studio IoT and Solidmation.
I taught myself to code, and over the years I specialized in complex systems that integrate hardware and software: solutions that demand architectural precision and long-term scalability. Most of my work revolves around large-scale integration and mission-critical systems.
Today I’m the CTO of BairesDev, where I help engineering teams design and build robust, scalable, high-performance solutions for our internal platforms and for clients around the world. I also sit on the boards of several technology companies, including Global Smart IoT and Cloud Studio.
What drives me is pushing efficiency, resilience and scalability one step further, not only in the technology but also in the teams that build and maintain it.
Topics I speak about
IoT
Smart cities
Complex systems architecture
Mission-critical systems
Engineering leadership
AI and its implications
Tech entrepreneurship
Outside work
Open hardware and software
I design and build open-source projects, just for the joy of it.
Scale model aircraft
I build highly detailed static replicas of real aircraft, a hobby I started as a child.
Meditation and consciousness
An interest since 2024 that now connects with the philosophical questions AI raises.
