Gabo Esquivel ( gab-o )
I help organizations turn ideas into market-ready software products. With over 15 years of experience as a full-stack, product engineer and tech lead, I bridge technical execution with user experience and business strategy, ensuring that every project moves from concept to launch with both technical depth and business clarity.

My focus is on emerging technologies and user-centric innovation. My expertise spans Web3, cloud, and full-stack web and mobile development. I excel at both startup and institutional engineering, complemented by ongoing explorations in AI and how it can redefine the way people interact with software.
My approach is rooted in agile methodologies and guided by my engineering principles, striving for precision in technology implementation and continuous improvement throughout the development process. I've been working remotely with international teams for over 12 years, bringing proven experience in delivering results across time zones.
I usually work through remote 1099 contracts with my US-based company, Blockmatic Labs LLC. This gives clients straightforward contracts, compliance peace of mind, and IP protection. I’m based in Costa Rica, aligned with US Mountain Time, and conveniently close for quick trips to major US cities.
