hey there 👋

I'm Carlos.
I build stuff
with agents.

Fractional CTO and tech lead from Bolivia. Serial entrepreneur, in the startup game since 1998. These days: fintech, digital identity and open-source experiments.

Stuff I'm building.

Side projects and real products, mostly shipped by me plus a bunch of very patient coding agents.

KAIA Latam

Not a bot, an agent that's actually yours. A whole agentic ecosystem of tools and skills built to act, not just answer. I co-founded it.

Payments your agent runs. No dashboard.

ValidMe

Identity & KYC verification. I co-founded it to make "prove you're you" fast, fair and a little less painful.

Payments your agent runs.

Kaia-Pay is the first agentic, MCP-native payment gateway in Latin America.

Sign up, set up and run your payments, 100% through your AI agent. No dashboard. No login. Just an API key and MCP.

how my day actually works

Give each agent
a job.

They deploy, check, brief and ship. I sip coffee, review, and hit approve. Tap a job 👇

the human in the loop

Hi, I'm Carlos.

I'm a builder, tech lead and fractional CTO from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. I've been making software for a long time: games, government platforms, payments, identity. These days I teach agents to do the boring parts so I get the fun ones. I still love writing code, now as a hobby.
