Cristian Valdivia is a solopreneur and founder building AI agents that automate electrical grid engineering, most notably Don Nelson, which runs DIgSILENT PowerFactory studies to compress weeks of work into hours. With eight years of experience spanning AI, Web3, robotics, and full-stack systems, he combines practical electrical engineering training with applied machine learning to unblock grid connections critical to the energy transition. He has led ambitious projects—from a Chilean robotics championship-winning neural-hardware controller to an AI lawyer that scored 85% on the Chilean bar exam—and co-developed digital clones and decentralized social platforms. Comfortable founding and scaling early-stage ventures, he’s also taught the first multi-course blockchain curriculum at a Chilean university, reflecting a passion for knowledge transfer. Based in Santiago and completing an Electrical Engineering degree at USM, he focuses on deploying Don Nelson in transparent markets like Chile to prove a model that can be exported where transmission and renewables need rapid unlocking.
