    Bio

    Founder and lead developer at aGo lab, a small studio based in Chillán, Chile that builds data, AI and web tools since 2020. I focus on WordPress plugin development, custom Python/Django applications and applied machine learning for small and mid-size businesses across LATAM. I also teach WordPress, plugin development and applied AI through aGo lab workshops.

    Interests

    WordPress, plugin development, data science, machine learning, generative AI, automation, Python, Django, open source

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started building with WordPress around 2015 to launch small business sites for clients in Chile. Over time it became my preferred platform for shipping anything that needs to be installed, branded and handed to a non-technical owner in a single afternoon. In 2020 I founded aGo lab and we began developing our own internal plugin suite to solve recurring problems we saw in client work — security hardening, email delivery, cleanup, AI assistants, GDPR/Chile compliance. The “aGo AI Chatbot” submitted today is the first one we open-source on the official directory.
