I build AI systems
people can trust.

I design trustworthy systems, product concepts and research-backed software across AI, mobile, web, safety and automation. Formerly AWS, now Microsoft, and founder of Xaviour.

Real products, shipped to real people.

From an AI communication OS to a fuel-price app on two stores, each one built end to end: idea, design, engineering and release.

Xaviour

An AI communication OS that reads, understands and prepares, so you only make the decisions that need a human. It shows what it checked, and nothing is sent, archived or scheduled without your confirmation.

FuelRadar

Community fuel prices for Ireland. Photograph a price board and the app reads it. Freshness is designed in: stale prices are never ranked.

Rail Safety Spain

A calm, single-map view of Spain's Renfe trains built only from official open data, and explicitly informational: it never claims to be a safety system.

Fáilte Paws

Find places in Ireland that genuinely welcome your pet. Owners confirm the welcome themselves, and "listed" is never shown as "confirmed".

AgentGuard

Deterministic guardrails for AI coding agents: signed policy, human review and a tamper-evident record.

Open source · MIT

Zortbit

A local-AI file organiser for macOS. Nothing leaves the Mac, nothing is ever deleted, and every move can be undone.

How I build

Trust is a feature you design, not a disclaimer.

The same few principles run through everything I make: products, prototypes and research.

01

AI prepares. People decide.

Models draft, rank and suggest. Anything consequential waits for a person, and the system explains what it checked.

XaviourLighterApproval-queue demos
02

Reversible by default.

Undo is designed in from the first screen: receipts for every action, nothing permanently deleted, your data removable on request.

XaviourZortbitFáilte Paws
03

Honest about uncertainty.

Stale data is labelled stale. Informational tools say they're informational. Research is pre-registered, and failures stay failures.

FuelRadarRail Safety SpainBlockHarmony
04

Permission lives in code.

Whether an agent may act is decided by deterministic rules and signed policy, never by asking the model.

AgentGuardRobotinaAgent demos
05

Boring infrastructure.

Managed services, few dependencies, and release checks that prove the right thing shipped. Simple systems are easier to trust.

Prototypes & demos

Ideas, made tangible quickly.

Field demos from my Microsoft work, anonymised, alongside independent prototypes. Each card opens the idea behind it.

◇

Governed-change approvals for an AI delivery assistant

A multi-agent assistant that refuses to make governed changes itself. It raises an approval ticket, says no change was made, and waits for a person.

Microsoft FoundryMulti-agent2026
◎

Grounded product-support agent

Answers from a product's own documentation and troubleshooting guides (fictional company), with a written test pack of questions and expected behaviour.

Foundry IQRAG2025

100+ customer AI demonstrations

Retrieval, agentic patterns and AI-adoption demos and technical evaluations for enterprise teams across the Nordics and Iberia.

Nova — an AI teammate in Teams

Mention it in a channel and it plans, uses tools and replies, passing heavy work to a background agent. It routes each request by difficulty and caps spend per conversation.

Lighter — calm email & calendar triage

Shows what needs you, with one grounded recommendation and an editable draft. A person decides; nothing is ever sent.

AI Signal — a source-grounded daily briefing

An automated pipeline finds stories, a person approves them, and a claim-checker verifies every line before it's published and voiced.

Five coding agents on a Mac mini, supervised from an iPhone: a queue, evidence before every yes, and Face ID-signed approvals with a 30-second undo.

Annual-accounts generator

Turns a trial balance into statutory annual accounts with deterministic calculations and validation checks; exports to CSV, PDF and Word. No AI where arithmetic must be exact.

EFS fleet inventory & compliance checks

From my AWS years: Lambda and AWS Config tools that reported which instances mount which file systems, and caught a risky NFS option early.

Field demos are described without customer names or private details. All demo data is fictional.

Research & writing

Measured, published, and honest about what failed.

BlockHarmony asked whether verified, versioned memory gives AI models better and cheaper context than retrieval. Nineteen pre-registered experiments later, mostly it didn't, and the frozen rule said to stop.

About

5+ years engineering. Builder by habit.

From customer support at Zendesk, to four years inside AWS production escalations, to a year building AI with Microsoft customers. I learned how systems really fail, and how people decide to trust them.

At Microsoft I help enterprise teams evaluate and adopt AI: retrieval, agents and the architecture around them. Outside work I build the products and run the experiments myself, from cloud infrastructure to native apps to evaluation harnesses.

Born in Mexico, based in Dublin. I work in English and Spanish.
