Summary
Rodrigo Díaz is a technical leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling front-end platforms and product teams across Latin America, currently focusing on AI and communications at Galgo. He previously led multiple platform and product initiatives at Mercado Libre, where he helped stand up new squads, defined frontend architecture, and drove developer experience and standardization. Rodrigo blends hands-on React and full-stack development with hiring, onboarding, and cross-functional collaboration with Product and UX to turn ambiguous requirements into robust, testable systems. His background includes leading frontend standardization and open-source-minded tooling work at Lemontech and end-to-end platform design at GoPlaceIt. Based in Santiago, Chile, he pairs pragmatic engineering with people leadership and a track record of elevating team practices beyond code. Less obvious: he repeatedly takes roles that combine deep technical ownership with the operational work of creating new teams and developer workflows.
