I'm César. I run engineering with agents.

CTO of Simón, based in Guadalajara, Mexico. I help CEOs and technical teams go from scattered AI use to shipping more with the same team.

Away from work: mountains, fishing with my son, and a good coffee before I open the laptop.

How I operate with agents today

For 25 years the answer to “we need to ship more” was to hire. Today it is the way of working. This is what we do at Simón every day:

  • Agents build tasks in parallel, and the specs live in the repository so they know how to decide.
  • Every PR goes through three automated reviewers: security, quality and whether the acceptance criteria are met.
  • A person decides where it matters: product before building, high-risk changes and QA before release.
  • Logged bugs and production errors come back as a PR with their root cause.
  • Refinement agents turn a requirement into something buildable, and support agents reach the root cause of a report and say how sure they are.

Writing

I write about what changes for the people who lead: what the CEO decides, what happens to the tech lead, and how to bring a team to work with agents.

The first article on this blog comes out in November. Meanwhile, the more technical pieces are on the PeakSyn blog.

How I can help

I work with a few teams at a time, as an advisor. Your team builds and runs it; I guide the decisions. Details and prices are on PeakSyn, the studio I work through.

  • Ongoing support

    Month by month with you and your tech lead, or a few hours a week as a fractional CTO when the team needs technical leadership.

  • Diagnostic

    We measure how your team builds today and I leave you a written plan to move to working with agents.

  • Guided implementation

    In 4 to 6 weeks your team sets up the full agent-based workflow, with your own quality and security rules.
