My career began in electrical engineering, specializing in control systems within the oil and gas industry. That foundation taught me how to break down problems, think critically under pressure, and optimize technical systems. When the industry shifted, I pivoted into digital marketing - a move driven by necessity, but empowered by transferable skills. I used my engineering mindset to master HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and built integrated workflows across platforms like Shopify, HubSpot, and SMS tools using APIs and conditional logic.
As a Shopify eCommerce Manager, I oversaw the development and optimization of apparel storefronts generating $1M-$6M in annual sales for high-profile clients in the entertainment and music industry. I applied UX, SEO, and conversion strategies to boost visibility and performance, managed global product fulfillment, and collaborated with artists' managers, designers, and entertainment partners.
As a Digital Marketing and CRM Manager, I designed segmented campaigns, built lifecycle workflows, and analyzed campaign ROI, customer behavior, and retention trends. My work was grounded in data and supported by dashboards I built in HubSpot to drive smarter decisions and measurable outcomes.
I began my career as a Control Systems Engineer at Stella Maris LLC, designing electrical control systems for subsea wells and oilfield equipment in the oil and gas industry. I then worked as an Electrical Engineer at Stonewall Engineering, creating detailed electrical schematics and calibrating instrumentation. Since 2018, I've held multiple roles at Vested Marketing, including Sr. Digital Marketing Designer, Sr. Digital Marketing Executor, Sr. Digital Marketing Specialist, Shopify eCommerce Manager, and Digital Marketing Manager. At Vested, I've developed 20+ websites, managed Shopify storefronts and led data-driven CRM campaigns.
I am committed to a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition and regular workouts foster discipline and resilience. As a competitive cyclist before and after a life-changing, near-death accident, I have experienced how physical health contributes to mental clarity.
Through perseverance and a positive mindset, I have overcome obstacles, reinforcing my belief that resilience is key to overcoming life's unexpected turns. From Guatemala to the dynamic world of digital marketing in the U.S., my story is one of growth.
I'm passionate about using AI as a tool to work smarter and solve complex problems faster. Claude Code by Anthropic is my go-to - I use it daily for reasoning through architecture decisions, debugging, and accelerating development workflows. My engineering background gives me a unique advantage in getting the most out of AI tools, and I'm committed to staying at the forefront of AI-augmented development as the space evolves.
I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in control systems, and an MBA from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The engineering degree gave me a strong analytical foundation - systematic problem solving, data-driven thinking, and technical rigor - that I apply to everything I build.
I'm a hybrid Systems Engineer, bridging marketing goals with backend capabilities. I'm proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and HubSpot CMS development. I build integrated workflows across Shopify, HubSpot, and various APIs using conditional logic and automation.
I've developed over 20 websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, HubSpot CMS, and WordPress for high-profile personalities, TV networks, and contemporary Christian artists. On the SEO side, I increased organic search visibility with targeted content strategies, ranking pages in the top 10 of search engine results and growing organic traffic by over 50% in less than six months. I approach SEO the same way I approach engineering - data-driven, systematic, and focused on measurable outcomes.
Yes, I'm fluent in both English and Spanish at native proficiency. Born and raised in Guatemala, Spanish is my first language, and it has been invaluable in working with diverse teams throughout my career.
I believe in the power of connections, both personal and professional, and I am driven by a desire to help others succeed. Whether elevating a brand's online presence or mentoring fellow professionals, my goal is to make a meaningful impact.
My engineering background taught me to break down complex problems into manageable components. I apply the same systematic thinking to marketing challenges - using data to identify issues, testing solutions methodically, and optimizing based on results.
