Juan Ernesto Turcios
Résumé · AI operations, solutions and internal tooling
Founder of Kova. USC film. I design the brand, sell the product, and write the software underneath it, and I'm looking for work where that last part is the job.
01 — Strengths
AI agents wired into six live business systems — Shopify, Xero, Square, Notion, Gmail and Cloudflare — with tested safety hooks that stop a bad deploy reaching a live storefront. Built for a business where a mistake costs money, not a demo.
Nearly 100 pop-ups. A stranger gives you ten seconds and a reason to say no. 1,030 units sold, a wholesale account opened from cold outreach, and a price ladder I still defend.
A USC film degree and five years of production, plus brand identity work for two ventures. I can shoot it, cut it, design it, and explain why it's laid out that way.
02 — Work
The long version, with what each one cost to learn, is on /work.
Two safety hooks that stop an AI agent publishing to a live storefront or running destructive git, with 73 passing tests. Traffic-aware delivery routing with a binary search for the latest safe departure. I found three production bugs in the hooks by probing them with crafted payloads that code review had passed.
Founded August 2025. 30g protein and 200 calories in a single-serve cup. I make the product, design the brand, build the Shopify storefront in Liquid, run the deliveries, and keep the books. Nearly 100 pop-ups across LA gyms and studios.
Web, content and automation builds for small businesses, plus a second brand serving architecture and design firms on a shared engine. Sites on Eleventy and Cloudflare Pages, self-hosted type, structured data, and a pricing model benchmarked against the market rather than my old rates.
