Andrés is building AI-native care at Hims & Hers, from Dallas.

I'm the founding iOS engineer on a new consumer health app, taking it from concept to launch and setting the technical foundations a growing team can build on.

That means authentication, observability, design systems and connected-device integrations, plus a lot of turning ambiguous early ideas into shippable milestones with Product, Design, ML and Backend.
