Professional Journey

Mail MKT & Automation Director

LFi Chile · Colombia (remote)
LFi

I don't just manage lists or campaigns; I design data architectures that automate the relationship between enterprise brands and users at a global scale. As Director of Automation, I have evolved the traditional email marketing function into a strict discipline of revenue engineering.

Key Responsibilities:
  • AI-Driven Orchestration: Leveraging LLMs and autonomous agents to generate dynamic, hyper-personalized content in real-time, drastically reducing deployment cycles from weeks to mere hours.
  • Full-Stack Architecture: Developing custom integrations using Next.js, TypeScript, and Python to bridge the gap between complex CRMs and high-volume delivery engines.
  • Predictive Behavioral Logic: Coding parametric user journeys, automated decision trees, and behavioral triggers for 18+ major corporate accounts across the Banking, Energy, and Retail sectors.
  • Data-Driven Deliverability: Injecting dynamic content at scale while relentlessly auditing server deliverability protocols and performance metrics to maximize Click-Through Rates and direct ROI.

My mandate is to apply a "Vibe Coding" product mindset: building automation MVPs to rapidly validate marketing hypotheses, and using hard code as a tool for massive scalability rather than mere execution.
