AI isn’t coming. It’s already reshaping industries and most enterprises are still figuring out where to start.

I’ve spent 15+ years at the forefront of that transformation. From building data science foundations when “AI” was still a buzzword, to architecting production-grade agentic systems that autonomously drive business outcomes today. I’ve consistently been a step ahead of where the market was going.

I don’t just implement AI. I help enterprises understand what’s possible before they know to ask for it, scoping the right initiatives, building the right solutions, and leading the teams that bring them to life. From first conversation to full adoption.

My edge: the combination of deep mathematical foundations, hands-on technical leadership, and the ability to translate complexity into boardroom-level clarity. I lead high-performing teams of AI engineers and data scientists while staying close enough to the architecture to know when something won’t work before it doesn’t.

The next frontier is agentic AI. I’m already there.

Hi! I’m Nicolas, a developer with over 25 years of experience, now working as a freelance mobile app developer.

My journey has taken me from programming MS-DOS games to building electronic test systems for the oil industry, before transitioning to mobile development in 2017.

Everything changed during an eco-volunteering mission in French Polynesia, where I monitored sea turtles. This experience inspired *“We Spot Turtles!”*, a side project that has since become one of my main activities as a freelancer.

In 2022, an unexpected encounter with an Australian helped propel the project onto the international stage, eventually leading to it being featured by Google in a global campaign.

Today, I build this solution using Flutter, co-organize the Flutter Nantes meetup, and aim to expand the impact of this application dedicated to sea turtle conservation worldwide.

Ignacio "Nacho" Agustin Randazzo is a security researcher and embedded systems engineer based in Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba, Argentina. With 8+ years across ASIC digital design, Linux infrastructure administration, vulnerability research, and embedded development, he works across the entire stack -- from silicon to software to security. He believes in understanding systems from the transistor up, and that breadth is not a lack of focus -- it's the ability to see threats and solutions that specialists miss.

He previously built AI-assisted security audit tooling at Maxwell Security (2024-2025), where he designed reproducible assessment pipelines and automation for vulnerability discovery. Before that, he designed production RTL for multi-million-gate fiber optic ASICs at Marvell Technology and managed Linux infrastructure at UTN's research center (CIII). He has conducted security audits of electronic voting systems, developed embedded Linux drivers for biomedical research hardware, and designed dynamically reconfigurable FPGA communication channels for DSP emulation.

Before the LLM era, he worked on neural networks and studied the underlying mathematics. Now he builds agentic systems with local models, focused on security, trust, and sovereignty. His current project, i.ar, is a self-modifying AI operating environment built in Emacs, hardened in Podman, powered entirely by local LLMs -- no cloud, no telemetry, no backdoors. He built it in 10 days without knowing Emacs Lisp; the AI wrote most of the code, including the parts he couldn't.

He is a strong advocate for free/libre software and self-hosted infrastructure. He spoke at ekoparty 2024 on FPGA-based password hash cracking, demonstrating power efficiency near GPU performance at Arduino-level power draw. He returns in 2026 to talk about what happens when you give an AI agent a terminal and let it modify its own code.

He holds a B.Sc. in Electronic Engineering from UTN (Universidad Tecnológica Nacional), Córdoba, with honors-level GPA (8/10) and specialization in digital design and computer architecture. He is C2 proficient in English (University of Michigan certificate, IICANA). He is an active CTF competitor, bug bounty researcher, and open-source contributor.
