Hi 👋, I'm Julián.
I help companies integrate artificial intelligence into their processes
A 30-minute conversation about the company's processes and, the next day, a concrete proposal for integrating AI. The business keeps working the way it does today, with fewer repetitive tasks and faster answers. No hot air.
Who I help
Companies, tech or not, that run fine without artificial intelligence but feel they should be using it and do not know where to start. Companies with work that repeats and today depends on people: orders, invoices, customer emails, reports, documents. The industry does not matter; what matters is that there are processes that can be sped up.
What integrating AI into processes means
It is not about putting AI everywhere. Artificial intelligence does not solve everything: it makes sense in some parts of a company’s processes, where it speeds up the work without losing quality. That is where I put it. For example:
Removing repetitive work. Answering the same emails, copying data from one place to another, writing the same report every week. Many of these tasks can now run on their own.
Answering customers faster. A helper that replies to common questions, day and night, in the company’s own words, and passes the hard ones to a person.
Getting answers from the company’s own information. A question in plain words (“how much did we sell in March in Girona?”) and the answer right away, without waiting for someone to prepare a spreadsheet.
Getting the company found on the internet. Articles, product descriptions and pages that are written and published on their own, so new customers find it on Google.
Adding it to the company’s own product. For companies that sell software or an online service: adding the features their customers are starting to ask for.
Getting the team using artificial intelligence in an orderly, useful way. Short, practical sessions to learn to use these tools in everyday work, with no fear.
How I work
We talk
One free conversation of about 30 minutes: what the company does, how it works and what takes up its time. I listen. No technical words.
I send a proposal
I go through what I was told and, usually the next day, send a concrete proposal: where to integrate artificial intelligence into the processes, where to start, and what each piece brings.
We build it and try it
If the proposal fits, in a few weeks there is something working in the real business. If it works, we grow it. If it does not, it stops there and nothing is lost.
Cases
One is work delivered to a client; the other is an invented example that anyone can follow. Each one says which it is.
From a spreadsheet to a system that says when to reorder
A small company ran its stock on a spreadsheet. In two weeks we delivered a system that joins its accounting and Amazon data and, with artificial intelligence, says what to reorder and when. The founder now improves it himself.
From a buyer spreadsheet to a Claude tracker that remembers, and when to move it out
A small agency keeps its buyers in a spreadsheet and in a tool Claude built, and updates both. The example rebuilds it as one tool with saved data, with the prompt to copy and a live demo of what survives closing the tab, and marks the point where it should leave Claude.
What I do not do
- Sell hot air. Artificial intelligence is very good at some things and bad at others. I say which is which before a cent is spent.
- Put AI everywhere just because. Artificial intelligence does not solve everything. It only makes sense in some parts of the processes, where it speeds up the work without losing quality. That is where I put it, on top of the tools the company already uses.
- Leave behind something the team cannot use. If the company’s people cannot run it without me, it is not finished.
- Pretend I can do everything alone. If the problem is bigger than one person, I bring in colleagues and providers I trust and have worked with before.
My credentials
- I have built software for over 15 years, for companies in Argentina, Germany, the United States and Spain. Today I lead technology at a company with around a million users.
- I was the head of technology (CTO) at a company in the United States that handles payroll and accounting for other companies. I know what it means to run a business, not just to write code.
- I learned how artificial intelligence works on the inside long before it was fashionable. At university I studied it and built it from scratch, and I spent a year in a master’s programme on machine learning.
- I use it every day in my own work. At my current job I built tools with artificial intelligence that let my team develop faster and find failures much sooner.
- I have built real things with it, not just slides:
- Sessionboxer, a tool that keeps artificial-intelligence assistants in a safe space while they work.
- Five apps for online shops, sold around the world, built with the help of artificial-intelligence assistants.
- A system that writes and publishes articles every day, so that customers find those apps on Google.
- I taught at university for four years. I know how to explain difficult things in simple words, and I enjoy it.
- I co-created Cualbondi, a public-transport app used by thousands of people in Argentina, and I have given many public talks.
The full story, with all the technical words: about me.
What other people say about my work
Rated by its users for ten years
My Periodic Task add-on for Redmine, a project-management tool used by many companies, has been in the official directory since 2015. Twelve of its fourteen ratings are five stars. See the ratings.
Free tools other programmers rely on
On GitHub, programmers give a star to tools they find useful. Three of mine have more than 400 together: osm-static-maps (180), vue2-leaflet-markercluster (132) and Periodic Task (97).
Recommendations from people I have worked with
Former bosses and colleagues have written about what it is like to work with me. See them on LinkedIn.
Who I work with
For projects bigger than one person, I work with people I have worked with for years. The client always knows who is doing what.
Let's talk
Two lines about what the company does are enough. I read and answer every message myself, usually within a day. The first conversation (30 minutes) is free and there is no commitment.
I am in Castelldefels, near Barcelona. I work with companies anywhere, in person or online, in Spanish and English.
