Summary
Juan Rodriguez is a co-founder and engineering leader with nine years of experience building production ML and cloud-native systems, currently focused on healthcare finance at Mend. His background blends research-grade reinforcement learning (an Atari agent reaching human-level play in five minutes) with practical product delivery—designing serverless KYC pipelines and deploying fraud-detection models that recovered significant transaction value. As an undergraduate researcher he devised a parallel Boolean algorithm for SALBP-2 and implemented GPU-accelerated C++/CUDA primitives, demonstrating a rare mix of theoretical optimization and high-performance systems engineering. Comfortable spanning research, product management, and hands-on engineering, he ships models and APIs that move from prototype to client-facing services. Based in Greater Mexico City, he brings entrepreneurial drive and a curiosity for human-like learning systems, pairing academic rigor with startup execution.
