Proven product expertise. Premium engineering. We don't hand off tasks — we own the architecture, so your product gets built right the first time.
The Problem
North American companies face a binary choice when building software. Local agencies deliver quality — at a premium. Offshore agencies deliver cost savings — with communication gaps, lack of business context, and technical debt that costs three times as much to fix later.
We break this cycle through Engineering-Led Management. Every project at Arbolique is owned by a proven Product Leader with a successful track record and hands-on technical experience. Not a ticket-taker. Someone who understands your business goals and your codebase.

What We Build
We don't try to do everything. We do three things with depth, care, and senior-level craft.
For founders who need a technical roadmap, not just a feature list. We embed as your product partner, align the vision with the architecture, and build something that lasts.
Full-stack web and mobile applications built for scale and long-term maintainability. We start with architecture and business logic — not a Jira ticket.
Security is not an afterthought. Every build includes professional-grade penetration testing and security auditing — before launch, not after a breach.
Portfolio
HealthTech · SaaS Procurement
Transformed a complex, manual healthcare procurement process into an AI-enhanced platform — without breaking the business logic between medical sales and technical execution during rapid scaling.
$2M Seed raised. Platform expanded into North American and European markets following launch.
MedTech · Remote Patient Monitoring
Built a high-stakes, HIPAA-compliant backend for real-time wearable sensor data ingestion. Security-first engineering integrated from day one — hardened before launch, not patched after.
FDA & Health Canada approved. Live with 1,000+ patients across multiple clinical modules.
PropTech · SMB Asset Management

100+ properties onboarded. Operational efficiency modernized across tenants and landlords.
FinTech · OEM Automotive
Native app with full engine and climate control, GPS tracking, and vehicle status. Scaled to hundreds of thousands of active users while maintaining a top-rated App Store presence.

Manufacturing · Business Intelligence
Custom BI tool pulling from multiple databases and time-tracking systems, integrated with Amazon QuickSight. Gave management real forecasting and trend analysis where they had none before.
Managerial accounting unlocked. Measurable increase in process efficiency and profitability.
The Talent Bench
We don't post on Upwork. Our bench is assembled through direct relationships and technical vetting. Every person on it ranks in the top 5% of their market — and we pay them accordingly, which is why they stay.
We don't publish names. What we show you is what they've built, what they know, and who they've built it for.

The Founder
"I've seen where studios break: the communication gap. Arbolique was built to be the bridge that doesn't collapse — because the PM running it understands both the business and the code."
Sebastián is a Senior Product Manager with an engineering background and a proven track record across regulated, high-stakes industries. He's shipped FDA-approved medical platforms, scaled automotive apps to 800k+ users, and led product for proptech serving North American and Australian real estate markets.
He started Arbolique because he'd seen where studios break — the communication gap between vision and execution. Every process at Arbolique is designed around bridging that gap, from day one.
