The team · Based in the U.S.

Senior engineers, start to finish.

Christian Martinez

Principal AI Engineer

Christian founded Echelon Studio to keep standards high in an industry where they are slipping. After building AI systems at scale for Expedia, he shipped internal tools, automations, and products for businesses with $1-10 million in revenue and a family office with over $1.7 billion in assets. Outside of work he races marathons and full Ironmans, and brings the same discipline and endurance to every build.

Lucas Werneck

Principal AI Engineer

Lucas turns ambitious AI ideas into products built to scale. As Head of AI Engineering at HelloGov AI, he built the models and backend infrastructure behind the product. Previously, he developed machine-learning systems for the sports analytics industry. He pairs hands-on engineering leadership with studies in data science and computer science at the University of Florida and Stanford University.

Anthony Lorenzo

Principal Design Engineer

Anthony is a seasoned design engineer with close to a decade of experience building interfaces that feel as good as they look. He has shipped production front ends at HelloGov AI, Vemorastudio and 321Ignition, and his own apps in between. Because he designs what he builds, nothing is lost between mockup and launch, and everything he touches looks finished.

How we're set up

Small on purpose.

With AI in the loop, a few principal engineers can ship what used to take a department. Staying small cuts the coordination overhead of a large team. That is what lets us move fast.

  • U.S.-based

    The team is based in the United States, working in U.S. hours. No offshore team, no overnight handoff.

  • Principal-level

    There is no bench. Every line of code is produced or reviewed by a principal engineer.

  • End to end

    AI, backend, UI/UX and infrastructure, handled by one small principal team. The people who start the build are the people who ship it.
