About Matt Guerra.
A self-taught applied-AI builder with a design and operations background, the kind who learns a system by being responsible for it. The honest arc: a designer at a signage company who kept running into the same operational problems, taught himself to build the AI systems that would solve them, and ended up building the tooling the company now depends on. Nobody assigned that. It came from caring whether the work actually shipped and held up.
Bilingual & remote-first
Built for distributed work.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, and built for distributed work. I’m relocating to Medellín, Colombia, on a US-aligned timezone, close enough to overlap a full working day with North American teams, far enough to keep the cost structure of a remote-first builder.
I treat that as an advantage, not a constraint: full-day overlap, two languages in the room, and a working style that was remote-native before it had to be.
Range
Why a design background shows up in the engineering.
A design background and a photography BFA aren’t a side note. They’re the reason the systems I build are usable. The same eye that composes a frame decides how a tool surface reads to an LLM, how onboarding docs are sequenced, and how a status update lands with a non-technical stakeholder.
Creative-technical range means I sweat the UX, the documentation, and the communication as much as the code, because that’s usually what determines whether the thing actually gets adopted.
