Biography

A venezuelan transport engineer

Based in Rome but thinking globally, I’ve dedicated my career to transforming how cities move people. What started as a passion for building better roads has evolved into architecting smarter transportation systems through cutting-edge SaaS solutions.
My story isn’t typical for a SaaS professional. While most of my peers came from pure tech backgrounds, I bring something different to the table: real-world understanding of transportation challenges combined with the technical acumen to solve them through software.
This unique perspective has become my greatest asset in the competitive SaaS landscape.

My Journey

I believe the future of transportation lies not just in better infrastructure, but in smarter systems that optimize what we already have. SaaS platforms represent this future—scalable, adaptable, and capable of transforming how cities move people efficiently and sustainably.

From Infrastructure to Innovation

My career represents a natural evolution from building physical transport infrastructure to creating digital solutions that optimize how people move through cities. This transition wasn’t just a career change—it was a strategic shift toward the future of transportation.

The Foundation: Civil Engineering (2016-2020)

My journey began with a solid foundation in civil engineering at the University of Pisa, where I specialized in transportation infrastructure. During my time at Dynatest Italy, I gained hands-on experience with pavement engineering, conducting structural surveys and developing technical reports for road and airport infrastructure projects. This period taught me the importance of precision, data analysis, and the critical role infrastructure plays in urban mobility.


The Pivot: Digital Transportation Solutions (2020-2023)

The transition moment came when I joined M.A.I.O.R. SRL, a company developing software systems for public transport operators. Here, I discovered how technology could amplify the impact of transportation engineering. I was responsible for:
Implementing software solutions for public transport companies across Italy and internationally
Analyzing business processes and configuring applications to meet operational needs
Training teams and providing technical support for digital transformation initiatives
This role opened my eyes to the power of SaaS solutions in solving real-world transportation challenges at scale.

The Specialization: SaaS and Pre-Sales Engineering (2023-Present)

My current role at Optibus represents the culmination of my career evolution. As a Pre-Sales Engineer for a leading SaaS platform in public transport optimization:
Bridge the gap between complex technical capabilities and customer business needs
Conduct high-impact product demonstrations and technical workshops
Support global sales teams with technical expertise and local market insights
Develop integration strategies for enterprise clients

Cross-Cultural Expertise

Having worked on projects spanning Italy, Latin America, and global markets, I bring a unique international perspective to SaaS solutions. My multilingual capabilities (Spanish, Italian, English, German) allow me to connect with diverse stakeholders and understand regional transportation challenges.

The Future: Building SaaS Excellence

My goal is to become a leading voice in transportation SaaS, combining deep domain expertise with cutting-edge technology solutions. I’m passionate about:
Sustainable transportation through data-driven optimization
Scalable SaaS architectures for public transport
Customer success through technical excellence
Innovation in urban mobility solutions
