I'm Carlos Rivera ,
I build products & the teams that ship them.

I've spent the last decade-and-change turning complex ideas into production systems people actually depend on. Right now I'm deep into agent runtimes and orchestration at Meshi -- building the infrastructure so AI can safely execute real-world tasks. Before that I cofounded Figuro, scaling it from zero to a serious player in LATAM insurtech, and ran Synx for 7 years shipping AI systems for the likes of BBVA, Etihad, Bimbo, and Cinépolis.

I'm the kind of person who joins early and stays until it works -- whether that's founding a company, leading infrastructure, or jumping into a team that needs someone to figure out the hard stuff. I've led engineering orgs, built distributed systems, and shipped products across startups and enterprises.

I've been coding since I was 14 -- started building 3D game engines for fun, then at 18 I was writing C++ for UAVs at Hydra Technologies, with stints at Microsoft and HP Labs.

When I'm not shipping, I'm on a trail, in the woodshop, hunting for the best tacos and craft beer, or hanging with my dogs. Always down to talk about interesting problems.
