About Ramon

I am a self-taught Creative Technology Generalist* with a diverse background in business operations, mechanical engineering, culinary arts, and illustration. After living in seven countries and picking up four languages along the way, I’ve developed a unique approach to problem-solving—one that blends creativity, logic, and adaptability.

Over the past six years, I’ve worked extensively in Airtable solutions architecture, building scalable, automated workflows that help teams streamline their operations. My expertise lies in collecting client needs, designing custom Airtable bases, and creating no-code/low-code solutions to optimize data management and workflow efficiency.

My journey into this field was a natural evolution and even before formally working in solutions architecture, I found myself dissecting inefficiencies in workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and creating streamlined processes—long before realizing there was a name for what I was doing.

Since diving into Airtable development, my goal is to leverage my multidisciplinary background to help businesses and teams operate more efficiently, scale smarter, and spend less time on manual work.

What I value at work

Having worked in multiple industries, I’ve come to appreciate the key factors that make me thrive in a workplace

📖 Continuous Learning

I’m constantly expanding my knowledge—whether it’s mastering a new Airtable automation, integrating third-party tools, or experimenting with low-code solutions. I thrive in environments that encourage innovation and knowledge-sharing.

🎯 Clear goals & Defined Scope

I love problem-solving, but scope creep can be the enemy of efficiency. I work best when project goals and success metrics are clearly defined, allowing me to design effective solutions without unnecessary complexity.

👥 Collaboration

While I’m comfortable working independently, I believe the best solutions come from collaborative problem-solving. Whether it’s brainstorming automation strategies or troubleshooting an API integration, I enjoy working alongside teams to build robust, scalable solutions.

☎️ Transparent Communication

I believe communication is both the simplest and most complex part of any project. I value teams that prioritize clear, honest discussions—whether it’s about successes, challenges, or pivots.

*What does Creative Technology Generalist mean?

My ability to create efficient, intuitive Airtable solutions comes from years of exploring different creative and technical fields. These skills shape how I approach systems design, data automation, and process optimization:

📹 Video Editing & Content Creation

I have produced and edited over 150 videos and 10 podcast episodes. This experience gave me a deep understanding of visual storytelling and user engagement—a skill that translates well when designing clear, intuitive dashboards and workflows.

📷 Data Visualization & Reporting

My background in food photography and graphic design has refined my ability to present complex data in aesthetic, digestible ways. I design dashboards that aren’t just functional—they’re visually intuitive and easy to navigate.

🎨 Graphic & UX Design

My experience designing brochures, menus, brand guidelines, and UI elements helps me build Airtable interfaces that are both functional and user-friendly. I focus on ensuring teams can understand and navigate their data effortlessly.

🖌️ Systems Thinking & Process Automation

I have been drawing since I was a child and it has been one of the things that have kept me balanced throughout most of my life. I’ve had 3 exhibitions of mainly paintings and Illustrations
