Olavo Martsinkevich,

I love building with startups, taking products from zero to one, and from one to a million users. Everything from agent infrastructure to the small details people notice without knowing why. Based in Brazil.

Right now I'm a forward deployed engineer at Railblocks, working directly with funds like a16z and Paradigm and shipping what they need into their own AI operating systems. Before that I worked on core messaging, mobile and AI features at Ando, team chat for people and agents (featured on Anthropic's blog) and RL environments for frontier labs at Matrices (covered by The New York Times).

Write to me at , or find me on LinkedIn and GitHub.
