@juanmanuelvicente
CTO at NUWE who rebuilt its platform, increasing candidates per hackathon sixfold, and now architects AI compliance platforms.
What I'm looking for
At NUWE, I rebuilt the platform from scratch, reducing technical debt and enabling six times more candidates per hackathon, with automated scoring for submissions. I also scaled engineering capacity to support enterprise clients.
As VP of Engineering at Rollio AI, I grew the team from two to nine people across frontend, backend, data science, QA, and DevOps. Earlier, I maintained the platform architecture as Lead Software Engineer and coordinated its migration to a new platform.
As an independent consultant, I lead architecture for a BSA/AML compliance and fraud-prevention platform, including entity resolution, device intelligence, AI-assisted SAR generation, and KYC workflows. I also build production multi-agent systems and custom MCP integrations, and I’m currently open to CTO and VP Engineering roles at Series A/B companies.
