Gabo Esquivel — Product Engineer
I build useful and delightful software products, lately where the technology is hard to trust: AI agents and onchain finance. I work across architecture and interface, deciding what belongs in the product and what should recede behind it.
15+ years of shipping software, 12+ of them building 0→1 products for startups and growth-stage teams in regulated finance, consumer Web3, and production AI.

Focus
Right now I work on agentic AI and onchain finance. In both, the model or the chain does the hard part, and the product decides whether people can trust it with real work and real money.
- /aiAgentic AI products
Agents that call tools and render generative UI, with clear limits on what the model decides and controls your team can change after launch.
- /web3Stablecoins and trading
Stablecoin flows, wallets, and trading interfaces that show people what they're about to sign, with WebAuthn key management and indexed balances behind them.
I ship in startups, where the first version still has to hold, and in established companies, where the constraint is usually the systems already running.
