Marcelo - Software Engineer

Bio

Hello! I'm a person interested in artificial intelligence, growth platforms, visual tools, and consumer software. I enjoy studying language models for real-world use, building apps, and creating motion graphics and visual experiences together with teams and companies. A big part of what motivates me is thinking about how software reaches people, its growth, its distribution, and what makes someone discover a tool and decide to keep it as part of their life. I volunteer in environmental protection initiatives that I care deeply about. I love talking about astronomy and painting in my free time.

Experience

Automatic experimentation and improvement

I'm building Experiwall, a tool that checks your website daily for SEO, accessibility, performance problems, and AI visibility. Every morning you get a report with prioritized fixes so you know where to look, what to fix, and what to improve.

Software Studio

I'm part of the team at Astronomical Software Company, a Software Studio where we build products and experiments.

Open-Source Contributor

I love to create and contribute to Open Source projects. Currently, I'm working on NASA Open Mission Control Technologies as a contributor, a mission control framework for visualizing telemetry. Check out my contributions and volunteering experiences.

Computer Science Teacher

I'm a Computer Science Teacher at Platzi, a tech education platform in Latin America. I taught courses on OpenAI API integrations and LLM Observability, preparing syllabi and technical materials while supporting students through their learning journey.

Development of agents based on LLMs

In the rise of Artificial Intelligence, I joined SmartUp AI. Based in Chile, SmartUp AI is a company that provides AI solutions to businesses. In my role as a Staff Software Engineer, I work on the development and research of the platform. In 2024 the company was awarded in the Olami JBIZ and Aleph Foundation Shark Tank. We're also part of the NVIDIA Inception Program.

Image generation platform development

I've created Dreamify, a platform that helps people generate images using open-source Machine Learning models.

Educative App Creator

I created Artefisual, an app with short-form videos featuring animations, drawings, effects and more, to learn about Computer Science concepts. It helps students stay motivated, follow personalized plans and make consistent progress.

Scenio Board Member

I joined the board of Scenio, a science community on YouTube. Based in Spain, Scenio is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting science communication. Our community has presence in Spain and Latin America.

Creator of Animo

After working on many public experiments with new developments in LLM technologies, I launched Animo, a desktop program that allows users to generate animation videos from text. Later that year, it was featured in a paper as one of the applications launched with GPT-4. We also develop benchmarks and conduct research on text-to-animation generation.

Social Growth Engineer of lovetext

I'm working as a Social Growth Engineer of lovetext, an anonymous social network launched on February 14, 2026 to send love texts with your friends, or family.
