Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoan Hurtado is a Senior AI Engineer and technical co-founder with 13 years of experience building scalable ML-driven products and cloud architectures to digitise the construction industry. He founded and led SpecifiedBy—now acquired by Causeway—where he architected data pipelines, deployed 15 in-house ML models, automated 95% of content collection, and directed seven migrations with minimal downtime. Comfortable splitting time between hands-on engineering (70%) and management (30%), Joan spans front-end, back-end, data engineering, and QA while also setting company vision, fundraising, and due diligence. Based in Edinburgh, he combines startup grit with enterprise-savvy from early roles at Indra, and is known for translating messy real-world construction data into production-grade search and retrieval systems. An operator who still ships code, Joan brings rare end-to-end ownership from crawling and indexing millions of records to delivering fast, reliable user experiences.
