  title: Founder
  role: Founder
  bio: As an electronics engineer with 10+ years of experience, I developed personalized IoT devices selling 11,000+ units which led to my first exit. I sold my first startup to one of the top retailers in LATAM. Inspired by my girlfriend, a farmer and agronomist, I became passionate about helping farmers make better decisions. Today, with Instacrops, we are operating in 350+ farms wondering how to improve the food production with Software and AI reducing food security risks
