ABOUT

ME

My journey in product is one of bridging worlds. I began by scaling FinTech
products in the dynamic environment of an emerging market, managing a
$620M portfolio for Peru's largest bank. This experience gave me a unique
resilience and a deep, first-hand understanding of diverse user needs.

My journey in product is one of bridging worlds. I began by scaling FinTech products in the dynamic environment of an emerging market, managing a $620M portfolio for Peru's largest bank. This experience gave me a unique resilience and a deep, first-hand understanding of diverse user needs.

Today, I'm pairing that foundation with a world-class UC Berkeley Haas MBA and
hands-on practice building AI-driven products in the heart of Silicon Valley at
PayPal. I don't just build features—I build bridges between technology, business
strategy, and the people they serve. My goal is to leverage this global perspective
to create products that are not only innovative but also inclusive and impactful on
a global scale.

MY

EXPERIENCE

2025 - Present

Technical Product Manager Intern – Checkout AI Observability ,
Paypal

We develop AI-first solutions to improve the payment experience of 400M+ global users

During my internship at PayPal (Chicago, 2025), I built the "Friction Finder," integrating Claude + Datadog MCP to optimize issue detection at checkout and improve conversion. I also designed the "Auto Triage" AI Agent, which unified fragmented observability tools to automatically diagnose incidents and reduce triage time from 20 minutes to 4 minutes.asa

“Friction Finder” reduced the problem detection workflow by 75%, boosting conversions.

“Auto Triage” with MCP servers: automatic diagnosis and routing of critical alerts.

Solutions geared toward a $100M revenue uplift in the payment experience for 400M+ users.
