About
I was born in Bariloche, in the middle of Patagonia. And probably that's why I love the nature, animals and adventure sports and that love for the nature helped me to be more conscious and think about the ecology, self-knowing and try to find some kind of coherence in all aspects of my life. And that is when Agile comes into scene...
I started working with agile mindset in 2007 as a developer. My first two learnings were, how much confidence gives you to build code in a good way (pairing, TDDing, refactoring, etc.) and how powerful is to have a periodic contact with customers and users!
But it was when I moved to Barcelona and stopped working in a company where the Agile mindset and values were there even without us knowing it, when I understood that Agile is much more about people empowerment, collaboration and purpose.
And all this helped me to see that I like Agile because its values are very similar to the values I try to follow in all the aspects of my life.
So that's why I decided to shift my professional career from the technical side to the people, teams and organizations. And that path brings me to work as an Agile Coach, helping teams and organizations to put the Agile mindset and values in their lives.
Currently I work at MANGO, helping people, teams and the whole IT department to improve on their day to day and also with the relationship with the rest of the company
