Senior Software Engineer / Tech Lead, with 15+ years across:

* ML and AI trading systems (current): own and operate ML based trading strategies live

- - RL-tuned LLM agent directly managing positions

- - Kafka->ClickHouse data collection pipeline at 100K+ records/s and ~1M peaks

- - Latency sensitive execution on GPU nodes and bare metal

* Google (3.5+ yrs): multi-region cloud infrastructure metadata platform; Chrome Password Manager on Android

* Hardware + research: quantum key distribution stack (single-photon hardware, FPGA integration), industrial fiber sensing (Phase-OTDR, Bragg), icebreaker hull monitoring

* Founding backend engineer at a ticketing startup

Mostly startup-like and research environments as a hands-on engineering lead: latency budgets, custom hardware, research-team integrations, owning systems from architecture through production ops.

Looking for remote-first roles starting from Argentina and moving to US in 2027 (no visa sponsorship needed).
