Rodrigo Cauduro
@rodrigocauduro
Product Engineer building AI products at an independent practice, including LLM agent workflows and generative media features for real services.
What I'm looking for
At my independent AI and LLM product engineering practice, I ship application features end to end, from retrieval over embeddings and tool calling to streaming chat interfaces. I design agent workflows for real services, with evaluation harnesses and cost control.
At DFNS, I owned the customer-facing product built on its signing APIs, including React and Next.js surfaces and the TypeScript SDK integration. I also explored new products and external integrations through to shipped surfaces with product and design.
At Flinkit GmbH, I owned the MVP loop end to end, including white-label apps published to both stores through an automated Fastlane pipeline. I also built the real-time chat product and the backend services around it.
