Germán Larraín is a seasoned software engineer and entrepreneur with 13+ years leading technology strategy, architecture, and engineering teams across startups and scale-ups in Santiago, Chile. As CTO and co-founder roles spanning companies like Cordada, Fynpal, InstaGIS (rebranded Civic Brain/Predictable Media) and now Sodtrack, he combines hands-on Python backend development and cloud-native architecture with enterprise-level security and operational rigor. His background in electrical engineering and a master's in robotics gives him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective that informs pragmatic system design, from embedded/robotics interests to large-scale REST APIs and geospatial services. Known for recruiting and mentoring strong engineering teams, he also instituted modern CI/CD, testing and 12-factor practices at multiple companies. Outside work he channels the same risk-calibrated focus into mountain biking and enduro riding, reflecting a taste for high-skill, high-reward challenges.
