Learning how to build better + sharing notes along the way.
Ignacio here. Welcome.
This is a directory of things I’m working on, thinking of, or writing about. I update it periodically. It’s how I take notes on my process, wins and lessons learning how to build better.
Work
Right now I’m focussed on building.
I spend most of my time working with our team at Bags to bring better lending infrastructure to small businesses.
I’ve also started a data science consulting and development business, and built a DeFi hedging platform + algorithm. I occasionally advise startups in Latin America.
About Me
I’m figuring it out.
And working on treating everything as a work in progress. I was born and raised in Ecuador. I studied International Development at Brown, and spent the last few years working across New York, London, and Quito.
Today, I’m based out of CDMX, and I’m building things.
Most of my career was at Monzo, but I spent some time at Appear Here and DigitasLBi as well.
Here To
Help more people build, and help them do it better.
I’ve always believed the world is made better through creators. Artists, entrepreneurs. People bold enough to take a step forward and create something out of nothing. Or something new out of many old things.
Building can be a hard and daunting task. I want to make it easier to start, and help folks do it Better (for themselves and people around them) when they’re on their way.
If you’re trying to build, or want to do it better - reach out, I’m around.
