Summary
Federico Baña is an engineer-entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building and leading product-focused engineering teams from Montevideo. As founder of INIT.UY and a serial founder/CTO, he blends hands-on software design and development with people-first coaching to scale teams and streamline product delivery. He moves between roles—product manager, CTO, coach and developer—helping SMBs and startups reduce risk, cut time-to-market and improve developer experience. Known for mentoring every team member and instilling clear ownership, he deliberately focuses teams on the right problems rather than busily answering the wrong questions. An early web hacker turned startup builder, he still codes across web, mobile, IoT and blockchain domains while quietly speaking in riddles.
