About
I believe in technology that empowers creators and in stories that move people.
I've spent 8+ years moving between creative direction, ad campaigns, educational content, cinematography, editing and color. At Platzi I've inspired my team to try new approaches to editing and motion graphics, and we now get higher visual quality in less time.
I work with generative AI every day: Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, DALL·E, ComfyUI, Higgsfield and many LLMs, including local models on Ollama. I know what each one does well and where it falls short, and I read the metrics to make the next piece better.
How I work
- 01GenerateWith the Higgsfield MCP, called from my own agent workflow in Claude.
- 02EditWith the DaVinci Resolve MCP, inside the same agent workflow.
- 03ColorBy hand, because I enjoy it. It's the step that gives every production its quality.
What I bring to a team
- Honest feedback, fastEarly, direct and assertive.
- Team before heroesI push the team forward, not egos.
- In metrics we trustI read the data behind every piece.
- Never stop learningPlatzi's motto, and mine. I keep studying and getting certified.
- Curious about every teamI learn from motion, UI/UX, product and engineering.
- Remote, organized, efficientI plan my time and take care of my health.

Teaching
I'm a teacher as much as a maker.
I break a craft like color grading or generative AI into steps people can follow, and I adapt it to the room: university students, online learners, creative teams or executives. It's the same skill I use to mentor my team.
- PlatziOnline coursesInstructor of the DaVinci Resolve color grading course, rated 4.8 by 96 students.
- Universidad de La SabanaUniversity classesI've helped teach classes at the university where I studied.
- In personWorkshopsHands-on sessions where people learn by doing.
