An Accent Is the Smallest Mark That Changes the Meaning — as a Data Insight That Changes the Trajectory of a Company

Coming from an engineering background, I began in web development and design, and grew into analytics and data leadership. The tools and the scope have changed, but the work has always been about the same thing: finding where people get stuck, and designing solutions that genuinely help them, not just ones that are technically sound.

That's repeatedly pulled me into messy environments — little documentation, competing versions of the truth, no clear ownership. The real challenge was never the data itself, but connecting it to the people and decisions it was meant to serve.

What fixed it was never simply a better dashboard. The real work was underneath — a clear intake process, shared definitions, stronger data collection, and a rhythm for how decisions got made. Once those were in place, people could trust the numbers and act with confidence.

That experience shapes how I approach every engagement. Most companies that think they have a data problem actually have a decision problem. The dashboard is the evidence; confidence is the real product.

The name comes from the "é" in César — a small mark that tends to get a second look, usually clarified with a quick "César, with the accent on the é." That little phrase is where With Accent came from, and it turned out to be the right idea for the work: an accent is a small stroke that changes a whole sentence's meaning — the signal I help companies find in their data.

I want to work beside you as a partner, not another tool, vendor, or dashboard to manage. And I'd rather help you recognize that signal yourself than leave you dependent on me to keep pointing it out.

core values

Commitment

Commit to people, not to projects. Trust is built through reliability, honesty, and being there when things become difficult. That should always be consistent and persistent.

Joy

Great work should be exciting and energizing. Even when the job gets hard and complex, I want partners to enjoy building something meaningful together.

Creativity

Every problem deserves a thoughtful solution, not a template. Creativity means finding better ways to solve real business challenges, learning by making.

Resilience

There's always a new day in front of us. Every setback contains something to learn. Stand up, reflect, adapt, and keep moving forward onto the next challenge.

Clarity

Complexity is easy. Clarity is difficult. The work is to bridge technical & business partners, and simplify complexity, so people can make better decisions with confidence.

2018

Closing the web developer chapter

After 3 years of working as web developer through university, I landed what would become my final dev job at Ooyala, where I served the marketing team.

2019

Transition to marketing analytics

Brightcove acquired Ooyala, and I moved into the analytics team. There, I connected my engineering skills with business needs, establishing the web analytics function.

2021

Multi-touch and first analytics rebuild

Became a senior analyst and completed my magnum opus: new campaign structure with a multi-touch attribution dashboard, which led to quality data-driven decisions.

2024

Initiating a marketing analytics function

Accepted an opportunity to launch from scratch a marketing analytics function. I led strategy processes & marketing QBRs, and drove a funnel migration with lead scoring.

2025

Launching a data function

Took the challenge to build a data function from zero. I developed an operating model and end-to-end funnel reporting, and build a data infrastructure along with the ELT.

2026

Becoming a trusted partner
