I am Human Data Team Lead and Ops Expert Team Lead at SpaceXAI — coordinating the people, workflows, and quality systems behind AI training data for models like Grok.
My path runs through public law in Buenos Aires Province, crypto business development, co-founding an Argentine NFT gallery, and the La Plata theatre scene. That mix taught me operational clarity under pressure — and how to scale craft without losing the plot.
Based in La Plata, I care about Latin American builders having a seat at the frontier: high standards, tight feedback loops, and teams that stay calm when the launch window is short.
Focus
Where attention goes
Themes from the work: human data at scale, launch discipline, and a builder's view from Latin America.
Scale without chaos
Workflow optimization, resource allocation, and launch-time scaling (Grok-class releases) so volume grows without quality collapse.
Performance & feedback loops
Real-time dashboards, bottleneck hunting, and iterative loops where human operators complement pattern recognition with context.
Latin American perspective
Building and shipping from Argentina — from Kephi Gallery to frontier AI — with a bias toward access, inclusion, and regional talent.
Path
From public law to Grok-class ops
