Collaborator

Matias Barletta, Senior Software Engineer

Building Systems, Teaching Tech, & Embracing the Wipeout.

My career is a mix of high-level engineering and hands-on creation. With a background in Electronic Engineering and Unix administration, I’ve spent the last 10 years as a Full-Stack Developer specializing in CRM/Marketing  software. I love the "aha!" moment, whether I'm teaching a student or shipping a new feature.

These days, I’m living my best life in the Costa Rican jungle. It’s a place of constant growth, much like my surfing "career." Despite 20 years in the water, I still surf and enjoy like it’s day one (no 360, no fancy tricks)  and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m an Argentinian transplant growing roots in the tropics, always looking for the next project that I could bring value to.
