Hey, I'm Diego!
Product Engineer
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Bio
I'm a Chilean 🇨🇱 product engineer, a lifelong traveller and a cycling enthusiast.
Designing and building products is my ikigai.
In 2013 I founded Teamscope, a data collection software for clinical research. In September 2022 Teamscope was acquired by StudyPages.
What I'm working on now:
Product Alchemy
UX/UI design subscription
Motion Gurus
Rive animations for SaaS founders
Usermonk
Simplest feedback tool for B2B SaaS
When I'm not working, I'm most likely on my bike. That's where I find my essence and easily remind myself that life is amazing.
