AI Product Manager who ships agents

Founder, 16x9.ai
Miami, FL · English & Spanish

I design and ship AI agents for real operating businesses, and I run them inside companies I own.

01  About

About

I started as an architect. I moved into IT at Gensler, then ran enterprise technology for Google, Facebook and Amazon at WeWork. Today I build AI agents and workflow automation for the businesses I run, on a platform I built.

In 2026 I completed Product School’s AI product track: AI Evals, AI Prototyping and AI for Product Managers. I’m looking for an AI product management role where builder and operator experience counts.
