About

I'm Angel Kurten, an Engineering Leader and Product Developer based in LATAM. I've spent over 15 years building distributed systems, scaling engineering teams, and embedding AI into real products.

I realized the line between product and technology doesn't exist anymore — and I stopped pretending it does. Today I define, build, and ship. End to end. Alone or leading teams.

Currently I'm leading the transformation from an operations-focused company into an AI-driven SaaS platform at ORBIDI / PLINNG, where I architected an AI-native Marketing Intelligence Engine and scaled the team from 3 to 18 engineers.

Previously, I led engineering at Crehana (edtech), Muni Tienda (e-commerce), and Mensajeros Urbanos (logistics), driving availability improvements, Kubernetes migrations, and event-driven architectures at scale.

I write about engineering leadership, distributed systems, and the intersection of product and technology on my blog.
