I didn't grow up with computer science. In Mexico, that career was out of reach for someone from my surroundings. So I did what was available: I spent 11 years on the shop floor of my family's metallurgical manufacturing business: quoting jobs for top TIER 1's Bosch, Wabtec, and Federal Mogul, reading P&Ls like a pulse, and keeping a small company alive when the margins got thin.

I didn't recognize it at the time. Those eleven years were the most valuable training I will ever get.

I paid the toll. Burnout. 80 lbs overweight. Running a company that was consuming me.

So I took my life back. Lost 80 lbs. Ran the Boston Marathon. Finished Ironman 70.3. Got into MIT Sloan — my dream school. That changed everything.

At MIT, I went all-in on AI. Not because I wanted to become a computer scientist, but because I fell in love with what this world makes possible. Every weekend: MIT Media Lab, SundAI Club, Red Hat Open Accelerator, E14 Fund, MIT AI Studio. Self-learning, building, breaking, learning again. I refuse to be an observer.

Eleven years on the shop floor taught me what most people in tech can't see:

Every small business in America operates like a factory. They just don't have factory-grade AI.

There are 21,000 machine shops in the United States. They cut the parts that go into Boeing aircraft, Caterpillar engines, GE turbines, Wabtec locomotives. They are the industrial backbone of this country. And every day they lose Fortune 500 contracts because they can't quote fast enough, can't prove compliance fast enough, can't make themselves legible to a procurement org running on 20-year-old software.

I lived that pain for 11 years. Now I'm building the AI that closes the gap.

AI agents that turn 21,000 US machine shops into Fortune 500 suppliers.

Foreman is the first hireable agent. He reads every drawing your customers send, flags bad GD&T before it wastes your Tuesday, and drafts the quote in your voice. $200/month. Eleven more agents queued behind him.

I am the only person in this country who has lived all three sides of this problem: the shop floor in Monterrey, the procurement language at Bosch and Wabtec, and the AI labs at MIT. Founder-market fit isn't a slogan. It's eleven years of scar tissue.

I'm preparing my road to Y Combinator. Whatever happens, I am building this. Everyone has their own timezone — the only thing under my control is showing up, and I will do that without exceptions.

Let's go.
