Emilio Escobar
I am Emilio. I build and lead security teams, and lately I spend most of my free cycles building with AI agents.
Outside of work, you can find me riding my road bike in the canyons of Malibu, CA or Ventura, CA
This site is a live log: what I am shipping right now, a few things worth knowing about me, and the occasional long-form thought.
Now
- —Building whatsdown (whatsdown.ai) on top of the agentup project.
