I'm Ezequiel, a strategist and product leader fascinated by complex real-world challenges, and great queso.

My journey has taken me from music performance to management consulting at PwC, and now to AKQA Leap, where I serve as a Senior Delivery Lead. This diverse foundation allows me to lead multidisciplinary teams in translating high-level business goals into top quality project delivery and ultimately, shippable code for global brands like HP, Microsoft, and Google.

Software is ever-evolving, but I get most excited about the projects that bridge digital innovation and high-stakes policy. That passion led me to co-found Jefferson & Associates with long-time partners, where I navigate the evolving regulatory complexities of the hemp and cannabis industry in the US and worldwide. This legislative navigation requires the same precision as any Fortune 500 product roadmap: transforming ambiguous hurdles into strategic, modern solutions.

Beyond my core trade, I'm deeply committed to the Austin community. I actively engage in volunteer and board service — for organizations like The Trevor Project in the past and Forklift Danceworks these days — to help ensure that innovative, connective experiences are accessible to everyone. When I'm not strategizing for a product or a policy, I'm listening to podcasts, singing, playing the piano or violin, or riding my bike.
