 In 2018, I joined Boqueria as Chief of Staff and later became Director of Business Systems, where I spent seven years building out data and analytics infrastructure, scaling operational processes, and overseeing tech implementation as the company grew across the country.

From there, I leaned fully into what I do best: solving complex operational challenges at the intersection of data, systems, and restaurant technology. I’ve led major transformations for multi-unit restaurant brands — from platform migrations to automation strategy to tech stack overhauls — always with a focus on real-world usability and long-term impact.
