Pablo is a smart and thoughtful software engineer who knows how to work methodically through a problem. At Crossbeam, his team was responsible for the core data ingestion pipeline that powers our data-sharing platform, and worked with more senior engineers on a variety of challenging and interesting problems of scale. He is a huge culture-add to any team, and his coworkers constantly mentioned how he asks great questions and thinks holistically about a problem. He's a great addition to any team tackling hard backend problems or trying to develop an application with growing user needs.

As a product manager, I learned a ton from working closely with Pablo on projects. In addition to being kind and thoughtful, Pablo's natural curiosity opened up new avenues for me to think about how I frame requirements, provide context, and make essential decisions about the direction of a feature or piece of functionality. He has a knack for asking just the right questions to uncover hidden assumptions that can complicate or delay projects mid-stream, and does so early on while there's still time to adjust, pivot, or redefine. In addition, Pablo has a rare talent -- he is able to translate back and forth between end user context and engineering constraints in a way that dramatically improves cross-functional communication between the product and engineering roles. He'd be an asset to any team solving complex opportunities in the software industry.

Pablo was great to work with on a massive web-scraping project to preserve crucial data our organization needs to serve clients. We had a tight timeline but he was clear with communicating timeframes and easily met our deadlines. He even offered multiple options for delivering the data to make things as easy as possible for us.

I am so pleased with the work Pablo did. He designed and implemented a clean, robust web-scraping framework that has provided great value for our team. We used to have a clunky, exception-heavy system but Pablo built us an easy to use, standardized access to the files we need. It has been easy to adapt and maintain.

In this project, we needed to collect very large amounts of data from many different sources. This meant that we needed not only an effective collection but also a maintainable set of scrapers for very different pages. The identification of underlying scraping strategies and finding the balance between don't-repeat-yourself and the flexibility to keep up with changing services, as we intended to be scaping for years to come. The project was part of the source material fo the Timbro Sharing Economy Index, the first that used listing and traffic data to estimate the relative size of the sharing economy sector around the world.
