About Me ⚡️

Buenos Aires, Argentina

yanez.gabriel.gustavo@gmail.com

I help SaaS companies increase efficiency, reduce costs, and scale more effectively by bridging the gap between support, product, and engineering. I specialize in diagnosing software issues across multiple layers — backend, databases, APIs, and frontend — while supporting a wide range of stakeholders, including clients, partners, customer-facing teams, and product managers. Beyond troubleshooting, I collaborate with others to find tailored solutions, build internal tools (like scripts and AI agents) to automate tasks, and contribute to documentation and demos that empower teams and improve processes.
