Santiago Bello Product & Delivery Lead @ JP Morgan MBA (UCEMA) Finance & Accounting (UADE)

THE ENGINEER WHO SPEAKS BUSINESS, FINANCE & CODE.

Software engineer owning product definition and technical delivery for critical platforms at JP Morgan. Unusual hybrid background: MBA (UCEMA), B.S. in Finance, and CPA in Accounting (UADE) with years in corporate treasury and global operations before entering software. I don’t just build UI systems—I uncover user friction, align stakeholders, and deliver mission-critical products under fire.

Why is this combination rare?

🎯
Pillar 01 // Product & Execution

Product Ownership & Delivery

I act as the primary bridge between business stakeholders and engineering. I don’t just wait for Jira tickets: I spend time with users, understand their workflow bottlenecks, and propose high-upside features. When delivery gets tight, I prioritize ruthlessly to keep essential operations unblocked.

JP MORGAN

CURRENT ROLE Buenos Aires, Argentina
Software Engineer – Product & Delivery, Frontend Technical Lead
JUN 2022 — PRESENT

Own product definition, backlog prioritization, and delivery for critical frontend applications while remaining a hands-on technical lead building in React and TypeScript.

  • Bridging Business & Tech: Gather complex requirements directly from senior stakeholders and operations teams, negotiating scope, and translating high-level business goals into actionable, sprint-ready technical plans.
  • Proactive Product Discovery: Direct proximity to end users allows me to identify latent friction points and propose high-value features that users hadn’t explicitly requested.
  • Crisis Delivery & Team Resilience: Sustained unbroken business delivery when the UI engineering team dropped from four developers to two, ruthlessly reprioritizing the backlog to protect mission-critical workflows.
  • Zero-Downtime Platform Migration: Led the frontend migration from a legacy framework to React, running both systems in parallel in production without disruption to operations.
  • Design System & Storybook: Maintained an internal component library documented in Storybook, enforcing consistency, accessibility, and high reusability across multiple web applications.
  • Agile Ceremonies & Mentorship: Facilitate backlog refinement, sprint planning, and retrospectives while coaching junior developers on coding standards and design patterns.
