Jorge Galarza

Senior Engineer & Product Strategist | MBA

Bilingual technology leader with 15+ years of experience bridging the gap between business strategy and technical execution. My unique profile combines the architectural mindset of a Senior Engineer with the strategic vision of an MBA. I specialize in translating and executing complex business goals into viable technical realities, ensuring digital products deliver measurable impact and user value.

Technical Proficiency

I build high-performance, accessible web applications using React, TypeScript, and Next.js on headless CMS platforms (Sitecore XM Cloud, Optimizely) with search integration (Coveo). I also estimate work, lead sprint reviews, and engage directly with clients to align technical delivery with business goals. I actively use Claude Code and custom MCP servers for AI-assisted development - Anthropic certified in AI Fluency and Claude Code.

Entrepreneurial Product Leadership

Acting as the primary Product Owner, I founded and scaled Wembau Web Development, driving digital transformation for mid-sized businesses across Ecuador and Argentina for a decade. I also conceived and launched Catapultados, Ecuador's first crowdfunding platform. I managed the full product lifecycle: from zero-to-one strategy to technical rollout, successfully guiding 60+ projects to funding. This background instills an "owner's mindset," prioritizing ROI and product-market fit over code for code's sake.

AI Fluency & Process Innovation

I'm deeply engaged in the practical and responsible application of Generative AI. Beyond code generation, I focus on how AI agents can optimize requirements gathering, documentation, and user analysis. I advocate for AI-assisted workflows that enhance human decision-making, ensuring ethical implementation in enterprise environments.

Business-minded Technical Solutions

My MBA in Marketing serves as the translation layer between stakeholders and development teams. I don't just implement features; I validate their feasibility against business objectives. This ensures that every sprint delivers genuine value, reducing scope creep and aligning technical output with company growth targets.

Global Experience & Agility

I have navigated diverse markets across the USA, Ecuador, Argentina, and Spain. Whether leading independent ventures or integrating into large agile teams, I bring high cultural adaptability and a proven ability to collaborate remotely. I understand how to deliver consistency in complex, cross-functional environments.
