Services
The technical decisions you make today define what you can build tomorrow.
I work with teams as CTO, technical co-founder, or advisory on the technical decisions that shape the product. Creator of Aguara Scanner and Oktsec — open-source security for AI agents.

AI Agent Security
Teams deploying AI agents and MCP servers in production
Most AI agents ship with zero security checks. I help teams identify and fix vulnerabilities before they reach production — from MCP server audits to runtime enforcement. Built on the same tools I created: Aguara Scanner (148+ rules, 13 categories) and Oktsec (runtime MCP gateway).
One-off audit or ongoing retainer
What's included
- MCP server security audit and hardening
- Tool poisoning assessment and mitigation
- Runtime security with Oktsec: policy enforcement at the MCP gateway layer
- Agent permission review and least-privilege configuration
- Supply chain risk assessment across MCP registries
- Cross-origin escalation and data exfiltration analysis
- Continuous monitoring setup with Aguara Watch
Fractional CTO
Seed to Series A startups with a tech team but no senior direction
Part-time CTO integrated into your team. We define architecture, implement engineering processes, evaluate the team, and prioritize the technical roadmap. Includes AI strategy: what to automate, what to build with LLMs, and where to invest.
10–20 hrs/week · Minimum 3 months
What's included
- Architecture and critical technical decisions
- AI strategy: where to implement LLMs, agents, and automation
- Engineering team evaluation and hiring
- Technical roadmap aligned with business goals
- Code reviews, quality standards, and CI/CD
- Weekly sessions with founders and team
- Monthly technical progress report
AI Strategy & Implementation
Teams looking to integrate AI into their product with a clear plan
Many AI implementations stall at proof of concept because there's no path to production. I work with your team to define which problems to solve with AI, what stack to use, how to reach production, and how to keep model costs under control. Today, multi-agent systems and protocols like MCP open new possibilities.
5–15 hrs/week · From 1 month
What's included
- AI maturity assessment and implementation roadmap
- Multi-agent system architecture and autonomous workflows
- RAG pipeline design for knowledge bases
- Model selection: when to use frontier vs. cost-effective models
- AI product development: concept to MVP in 8–12 weeks
- Inference cost optimization
- LLM integration into existing products
Technical Co-Founder
Non-technical founders with real traction looking for a partner to scale
I'm looking for the project where I can commit fully. If you have traction and a real problem that needs dedicated technical leadership, let's talk. Structured with equity and a base salary that enables full dedication, because great partnerships are built on aligned incentives.
Full-time · Complete dedication
What's included
- Full-time dedication to the project
- Complete technical and product ownership
- Building the engineering team from scratch
- Product, technology, and AI strategy
- Modern stack: AI-first, cloud-native, automated
- Real commitment: significant equity with aligned incentives
Advisory & Due Diligence
Investors evaluating teams or founders facing critical technical decisions
Technical due diligence for investors who need to evaluate a tech team, and for founders who need an external perspective before a big decision.
One-off sessions or monthly retainer
What's included
- Technical due diligence for investors
- Architecture, stack, and AI readiness audit
- Technical team evaluation
- Tech leadership hiring advisory
- Written report with prioritized recommendations
Cybersecurity
Teams handling sensitive data or deploying AI agents that need solid security
I hold certifications in penetration testing, MITRE ATT&CK, and NIST frameworks, with experience operating in regulated fintech with financial data. I provide security reviews and pentesting for teams that need serious security — including AI agent and MCP infrastructure assessments.
One-off engagement or monthly retainer
What's included
- Web application and API penetration testing
- AI agent and MCP server vulnerability assessment
- Security architecture review: authentication, encryption, secrets management
- Cloud hardening (AWS, GCP) and CI/CD pipeline security
- Incident response planning and threat modeling
- Infrastructure and application vulnerability assessment
Why AI is central
Incorporating AI early makes a difference that compounds over time.
The AI agent market is growing fast: projected at USD 50B+ by 2030. MCP already has thousands of active servers since Linux Foundation adopted it in late 2025. Most engineering teams already use AI assistants in their daily work. It's infrastructure that's already in production across many teams. Every service I offer includes an assessment of where AI can add value to your product.
AI capabilities
- Multi-agent systems that coordinate tasks autonomously
- RAG pipelines to centralize and query your team's knowledge base
- Integration with MCP and open protocols (A2A) to connect agents to your systems
- Model selection: when to pay for frontier and when not to
- From idea to MVP with AI in 8–12 weeks, with a focused team
- Realistic assessment of what can reach production and by when
Timezone compatible with all of the Americas and Europe. Experience operating in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Dedication adjusts based on your stage and needs.
Who I work best with
Teams deploying AI agents in production who need security from day one. Startups with traction or funding looking for technical leadership. Founders and investors facing critical technical decisions.
Not a fit for
