Freddy Munoz

entrepreneur and Engineering Leader in New York

Software Development Leader with 15 years of experience building teams and software - I am passionate about building teams, creating software, and solving problems. I learned to program at age fourteen and have never stopped since. I attended engineering school in Chile and completed an M.S and a Ph.D. in France, all centered around building software.

I have started companies building software, and I have worked for other people's small startups and big corporations on two continents. I have forged my views on technology by occupying various positions in engineering, from individual contributor roles to leadership roles. I work at my best when I balance steering the direction of product and engineering, enabling my teams' success, and building software.

  • I believe in servant leadership.
  • I believe that a small team can have a significant impact.
  • I believe that bias for action creates success. As the say goes, everyone has ideas; not everyone executes them.
  • I value ownership, autonomy, and judgment.
  • I expect leaders (managers and ICs) to step up and fill the gap, drive change, and be proactive.
  • I believe in working backward, making data-driven decisions, talking to customers, and starting small while dreaming big.
