As CEO and founder of michelada I have brought together one of the most outstanding software development teams in Mexico.With their support and knowledge we grew the company from 3 to 70+ employees within the last 3 years. This is probably one of the largest teams specialized in software development with Ruby on Rails, JavaScript and everything around it in the country.Our Talent Rotation is very low as I am obsessed in making michelada the last job our employees will ever have. For this we have been named a Best Place To Code for several years in the past: https://bestplacetocode.com/company/michelada We have helped dozens of clients in the US and Mexico with their needs by becoming key members of their team. We have also helped them shape their ideas into a viable product.I strongly believe in supporting the next generation of engineers all the time, so we organize multiple events all year round to help cement their career path: workshops, conferences, internships, meetups and speaking events.

During my almost 5 year run at the head of Crowd Interactive, I managed to turn a relatively unknown, small Ruby on Rails dev shop headquartered in the middle of nowhere, Mexico, into one of the most recognized software development consultancies in the country while at the same time establishing a solid base to do business mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area.Mexico is a great place to find talent for Software Development that can service the United States, due to its geo position, timezone and cultural similarities. Crowd Interactive has managed to take advantage of these factors to effectively service a variety of startups from both the West and East Coast in the US.Supporting the local communities was always at the top of my priority list as it helped me understand the local talent, build a network and hire only the best engineers that I could. One of the biggest initiative to come out of this was MagmaConf (www.magmaconf.com), the only Software Development Conference of its kind in Mexico, and due to its unique format, the world.
