Gerardo S.

Twelve years leading growth, performance, and e-commerce for global brands and retailers. Now I build software and automation.

I founded and scaled Hellmet over six years into a market leader in its niche, then held growth and marketing engineering roles across Linio, Mercado Libre, Schneider Electric, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Codere Online. At every company, I ended up as the person waiting for internal tools that nobody was building.

In 2024, I started building them myself.

In Production

• CVForge (cvforge.korven.dev): A local-first, AI-assisted job-search engine with scheduled scraping agents designed to never hallucinate or invent user data. Built with Next.js, SQLite, and Anthropic API; packaged as a zero-install desktop app for macOS and Windows with 500+ automated tests.
• Hellmet: A cross-border pre-order e-commerce engine.
• Open TV: (korven.dev/opentv) Open-source live TV streamed from your local machine. A single Go binary with an embedded Svelte client (MIT License). I made it just for fun.
• Service Ops Platforms: Production back-offices for two service businesses using Next.js, Supabase, Playwright, Telegram automations, a Python media pipeline (Whisper, YOLO), and self-hosted e-signatures on Docker.

How I Work

I design the product, define the architecture, write strict specifications, and verify everything against real data. AI agents write the code under my direct supervision, shipping through the exact same CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and release gates as any traditional code. I say this up front to attract teams aligned with this paradigm and save time for those who aren't.

Core Advantage

I know what growth, marketing, and operational teams actually need from software because for twelve years, I was the one waiting for it to exist.
