About

I'm an engineer with 21 years of experience. For most of that time, I wrote code. Now I direct the systems that write it and I make other engineers better at doing the same. Since AI became part of my workflow, my role has evolved from individual contributor to force multiplier: - I orchestrate AI agents to ship features end-to-end - I build internal tooling that accelerates entire teams - I detect architectural bugs with AI-assisted context - I prototype full products in days not months - I establish engineering process where none existed - I unblock teammates in real time - I fix the mess when someone else's AI experiment goes wrong This is how I work: Multichat with Codex and Claude for agentic planning. Agents write code, tests, open PRs. They review each other. They discuss. They resolve. I review the code, I supervise, course-correct, and merge. I also build my own AI infra: a semantic memory system (La Roca) with persistent agent context, and a 66KB query compiler for instant shared context and previous adquired knowledge from any agents from any provider. AI/ML: Claude, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, Ollama, Qwen, Whisper, fastText, Qdrant, RAG, MCP servers, CodeRabbit, multi-agent orchestration. Stack: React 19, Next.js 16, NestJS, CQRS, WebSocket, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Qdrant, Terraform, AWS, TDD, Jest. Recent: - Semantic memory system with local SQL compiler - AI-powered VOD pipeline: 9-stage processing with local models - Production Twitch bot with AI personality - Developer onboarding infra from zero: visualisation, docs, guides I build the systems, I build the tools that build the systems, and I make the team around me faster. Fluent in English and Spanish.
