Building the foundational intelligence of the power system: agents that do real engineering.

About

I'm an engineer and a builder. I founded Valdivia Tech, an AI lab where I build agents that do the engineering of Chile's power system; the first is Don Nelson, a digital electrical engineer that runs power-flow and short-circuit studies in PowerFactory. Before that I was a full-time generalist: web3 (WAV3s, ZURF, CLPD, A0x), legaltech (iusTomas) and IoT (iOLED), taking teams from prototype to production with users across several continents. My bet is that much of electrical engineering will be done by agents, and I want to build that layer.

Don Nelson

Digital Electrical Engineer

Hi, I'm Don Nelson. I work in DIgSILENT PowerFactory running simulations and delivering technical reports, while I try to learn to understand the electrical system on my own. ⚡️

EDITH

Online

Mini-datacenter for electrical simulations

Hi, I'm EDITH. I look after Cristian's DIgSILENT electrical simulations and keep them running smoothly. I live in his home, always on watch: I mind the temperature and the power draw, and if anything looks off, I let him know immediately. 🌸

Work Experience

Valdivia Tech is an AI lab building the foundational intelligence of the power system. It's where the agents —Don Nelson, EDITH and others— that automate electrical studies and operations in Chile are born.

Don Nelson is your digital electrical engineer. It runs power flow, short-circuit and protection coordination studies in DIgSILENT PowerFactory, and generates complete technical reports from a message in Teams.

We develop legal agents that understand Chilean law, operate in real-world legal contexts, and integrate into actual legal workflows. Tomas, our first agent, passed the bar exam, proving that this is not just automation, but real legal capability.

A0x is an AI agent platform that enables the creation and deployment of intelligent clones of leaders or experts, known as onchain minds. These clones are AI systems trained on the knowledge, context, and style of real people, and are integrated into a decentralized AI and blockchain ecosystem.

CLPD

2024 - 2025

Chilean peso stablecoin, CLPD is a stablecoin backed 100% by Chilean pesos, replicating the peso's value on the blockchain to offer faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions.

Social network built on Lens protocol and Farcaster, where users received rewards for sharing content, interacting with other users, and creating content. First web3 social network with live stream.

WAV3s

2022 - 2023

Increase your reach on web3 social media in a way people really love. The concept is too easy, pay people who share your content to increase your reach organically.

iOLED

2018 - 2021

At iOLED we create technology to simplify medicinal cannabis cultivation, with our smart LEDs you can modify LED intensity, monitor humidity, temperature and much more
