Building the Future of Credit Assessment

I'm the founder and CEO of Trantor Fintech, a platform that automates credit risk assessments for B2B companies across multiple sectors in three countries. With a Civil Engineering degree in Computing (with honors) from Universidad de Chile and a Business Management diploma from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, I bridge deep technical expertise with strategic business thinking.

My career spans leadership roles at Equifax, Telefónica, Codelco, and 2ndQuadrant (EDB), where I led IT projects, business development, and software engineering initiatives. I'm passionate about AI, Python, and creating technology that makes financial services more accessible and reliable.
