Juan Carlos · Cali / Bogotá · Colombia
I design and ship production-grade AI systems on AWS — LLMs, RAG, and autonomous agents that replace manual, repetitive business processes with software that actually ships.
End-to-end configuration and parameterization of Jira Software and Jira Product Discovery (JPD). I structure hierarchical information, create specialized profiles, manage timelines, and integrate Atlassian tools with AI and APIs to optimize your Agile/Scrum operations.
Complete software development lifecycle using my proprietary Spec Driven Development methodology (JCSPECS / SDD JC). From UX discovery, UI management, and requirement gathering, to coding and deployment. I build highly scalable web apps, landing pages, and desktop applications.
Empower your operations with Artificial Intelligence. I specialize in AWS Bedrock for consuming Large Language Models (LLMs), creating autonomous AI agents, and building complex automation workflows using tools like n8n and Eleven Labs.
Acting as an IT Manager / Fractional CTO, I oversee and structure your entire technology department. I implement best practices in infrastructure, streamline the software development lifecycle, and manage technical personnel to ensure your team scales efficiently.
Designing and maintaining highly available cloud environments. I handle the configuration and optimization of critical AWS services including S3, EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, CloudFront, Lambda, and Cognito, ensuring robust security and performance.
Full-stack platform for TLM Get Adviced — accounting, tax and financial consulting with App TLM, Power BI and Looker Studio for companies across Colombia.
Dark-themed lending and collections platform — daily collection priorities, overdue tracking, client search, and admin dashboards for credit operations.
Brand restructuring for VIP dental tourism in Cali — new landing page, SEO/GEO, Google Business Profile, niche positioning, and conversion-focused messaging.
View Case Study →I build LLM systems that ship — not demos. Prompt engineering, RAG, agents with tool use, and structured outputs.
I replace manual workflows with webhooks, REST, event-driven pipelines and document-generation pipelines, bridging legacy and modern systems.
Pragmatic, typed stack. Monorepo architecture and REST API design.
Serverless-first AWS architecture. Distributed systems without over-engineering.
Relational and document stores; vector stores for RAG; OpenSearch for analytics and retrieval.
CI/CD, automated quality hooks, testing and observability as a habit, not an afterthought.
Planning, budget control, and delivery governed by the value triangle: scope, time, and cost — without sacrificing quality.
I find the brand differentiator, run competitor analysis, and turn that into measurable digital presence: technical SEO, local GEO, Google Business, and tracking in GSC and Analytics.
I translate AI capability into measurable business impact for non-technical stakeholders. Sustainable agile delivery.

Strong clinical track record, but the digital presence did not communicate a clear VIP dental-tourism niche in Cali or a differentiated offer versus local clinics and US competitors.

Methodology
Constitution-first, spec-driven development for AI agents — across Claude Code, OpenCode, and Google Antigravity.
JCSPECS (SDD JC) is my open-source methodology for AI-assisted development. It is constitution-first and spec-driven: product intent, UX direction, technical design, implementation tasks, tests, and validation evidence all live in repository documentation, so humans and AI agents work from the same durable context. Published on NPM as sdd-jc-methodology with a portable sdd-jc CLI.

AI Engineer and Technical Lead with 15+ years building software, cloud platforms, and intelligent automation.
Currently designing and shipping production-grade AI solutions powered by LLMs (Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI), RAG architectures, and autonomous agents that replace manual, repetitive business processes. Hands-on across the full lifecycle — from identifying high-friction workflows and prototyping PoCs, to scaling them on serverless AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, Bedrock) with NestJS, Next.js, TypeScript, and Python. Self-taught, curious, and driven by solving real business problems with technology that ships.
