Currently project manager and business analyst for Ignus. Excellent communication skills, experienced in requirement analyisis.
I'm currently a project manager at Ignus, a software development company, where my role is both project management and business analysis. Since I am a partner at the company, I do a myriad of different tasks, but first and foremost I consider myself a link between our dev team, and clients (more so with english speaking clients). I've worked in diverse projects ranging from construction, finance, and software development, where my duties include: requirement analysis with clients, micromanaging team members, project planning, process mapping, analysis, and financial projections. In terms of communication, I can humbly say I'm quite confident in my english skills, as I've lived back, and forth between Mexico, and the US, furthermore many family members including my parents, as well as some of my siblings still reside there, so I feel very comfortable around english speakers, and still visit the US often.

Project Highlights
Washington Academy Educational Platform
Feb `22 - Present
3 years
Washington Academy, a LATAM technical school with four physical campuses spread out between Mexico, and Honduras
This project encompassed the development of a mobile app, website, and ERP system implementation (Zoho) for Washington Academy, a LATAM tech school that has over 8,000 currently enrolled students spread out between four physical campuses and a virtual one. As a project manager, this has probably been my most ambitious project in terms of scope, simply because of the sheer volume, and variety of different users and needs which must be met. This client required several sessions of requirement analysis, due to the vast amount of features needed for their MVP, and careful planning in order to not disrupt their ongoing operations. Furthermore we not only worked on their entire ERP system for internal admin, mgmt, and bookkeeping, but we also made an entirely new platform for students, and teachers from scratch. We developed their educational platform based on requirement analysis sessions, and analyzing their previously used (albeit quite flawed) system, both tasks in which I was heavily involved to say the least. In order to be able to provide timely deliverables and help our non-tech savvy clients understand what we were working on, and keep them engaged, we strived to create stakeholder-friendly reports, and did a lot of process modeling, site mapping, and made a roadmap for what's to come in the following months. My goal as project manager here was to make sure our client's needs were met, help my team achieve the desired MVP goals on time, and lastly lay the groundwork for further improvements to the client's platform. Our dev team usually work using agile development methodology, which in this case allows us to give the client deliverables every 10-15 days, which helps ensure client satisfaction. The public release of the student and teacher app for Washington Academy should be available publicly by Q3 of 2022.
Responsibilities & achievements
Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring. Requirement Analysis. Process mapping. Strategy Analysis. Elicitation and Collaboration between clients and dev team.
Pacific Farms Zoho Consulting and Support

5 months
Pacific Farms
I worked as I project manager for a client based in the US (to be specific, in California) who purchased a set amount of recurring monthly support and customization hours for Zoho, a cloud-based ERP system which allows personalized development. We were provided a weekly, or sometimes monthly list of needs and tech issues by the client in english, which I in turned translated in to requirements our spanish speaking team could understand. My duties here mainly focused around communication between both parties, as I helped our spanish language team properly attend to the clients needs, and made sure our work was being done correctly and in accordance to our client's specifications. During this project, I mostly focused on maintaining amicable communications with our clients and ensuring his satisfaction with our work.

Axenda
Sep `21 - Present
3 years
Ignus
To be brief, Axenda is a software platform for the construction industy that focuses on resource management and uses predictive AI to help save time, and money. Axenda is a product made by Ignus, the company where I currently work as project manager. As this is a product of ours based on our previous experiences with setting up ERP systems for clients in the construction industry, my role is somewhat different that when working to develop something for a third party. My english language skills play a big role here, as our team works mainly in spanish, therefore I've been responsible for most of the english content for Axenda, including investor presentations, which usually include information from our financial projections which I am also responsible for. Even though we don't have to meet any client's specific expectations here, I still try to imagine the specific needs of potential users when planning, and eliciting requirements, and I also continue to pressure my team to finish tasks on time and try to stay ahead of schedule. Our public version of Axenda launched earlier this year, and is available now in spanish with the english version coming soon this quarter (Q2 2022).
Responsibilities & achievements
Micromanaging the team in order to stay on schedule. Eliciting requirements. Monitoring our team. Sales pitches. Investor presentations.
Joint Venture between Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Guadalajara Metropolitan Development Institution (IMEPLAN) to create a mobile app.
Aug `21 - May `22
9 months
GIZ and IMEPLAN (Joint Venture between both government agencies)
In a nutshell, we created an app similar to ubereats or deliveroo for local markets in Guadalajara between three contractors chosen by GIZ and IMEPLAN called MiMercadoAMG which you can find in the mexican appstore and playstore today. I served as project manager for a collaboration between GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) which is a german government agency that works on international cooperation projects, and IMEPLAN (the metropolitan development institute of Guadalajara). The purpose of this joint venture was to create an ecommerce cross-platform mobile app where local markets could sell their goods and services through the app, and have them delivered by government sponsored delivery agents on bikes. During the months of development I served as a link between market stall owners, delivery agents, stakeholders and developers, where my duties included performing requirement analysis, micromanaging developers, maintaining amicable communications between all parties, and generating useful reports and progress presentations for stakeholders, all while making sure everyone staying on schedule as much as possible.
Responsibilities & achievements
Coordinating communications between all collaborating parties. Creating functional, easy-to-digest reports and presentations for stakeholders (in this case, both governmental agencies, and all three private contractors involved). Ensuring deliverables and tasks be completed on time.
