Adaptable writer
committed to authentic
communication and education.
With the challenges we face in today’s digital landscape, getting your message across in a way that is accurate, thoughtful, and accessible is paramount. I can help you with that.
I’ve worked as a writer for tech companies at various stages of development, including Provenance (an online service for building personalized wedding ceremonies), Citizen (an app for real-time safety and crime alerts), and Quasar (a web app for decentralized asset management).
With a BA in Philosophy and Religious Studies from Stanford University, I’m equipped with a distinctly thoughtful and values-oriented approach to communication.
I find solutions by pursuing genuine relationships with stakeholders, identifying incisive questions, and leveraging my unique perspective as an “outsider” rather than an “insider.”
“On several occasions, Mauricio’s questions acted as triggers. He helped the engineering team discuss aspects of the product they had not fully considered and helped others on our team better understand our tech.”
Quasar Finance
An innovative asset management platform for cryptocurrencies
As Quasar’s Content & Technical Writer, I carried out a content strategy that developed Quasar’s brand narrative and voice while educating users in the months leading up to our mainnet launch. In that time, we grew Quasar’s Twitter audience from 7k to 47k followers.
Provenance
Digital tools for creating personalized and meaningful wedding ceremonies
As Provenance’s founding Editorial Manager, I iterated on the features, content, and structure of the minimum viable product version of Provenance’s Ceremony Builder. I carried out market research, contributed to the brand’s aesthetic and narrative, and enacted a content strategy emphasizing SEO.
“Through deft research and his own philosophical intuition, Mauricio guided the realization of our nascent brand voice and mission-derived ethos across a myriad of external marketing instantiations.”
Citizen
Location-based safety alerts with live video and real-time updates
I created content and covered real-time emergency incidents for Citizen as it expanded to dozens of cities across the United States. I delivered push notifications with critical information to millions of people. As a Senior Analyst, I was a leader in editorial decision-making and was closely involved in training new team members.
