Computer Engineer & Product Strategist

I build digital products for organizations that exist to create change.

About me

If you run an impact-driven organization and need a tech partner who actually gets your mission… keep reading.

I’m Rodrigo, founder of Girolabs, a certified B Corp software and AI agency. We build digital products for companies and nonprofits that exist to create positive change.

We built the international website for Sistema B, the B Corp certification hub for all of Latin America. We’ve shipped AI-powered apps, custom platforms, and automation systems for clients across the US and LatAm.

What makes us different:
— We’re B Corp certified. We speak the language of impact, not just software.
— You get a dedicated team, not a freelancer.
— Day-to-day delivery runs out of Asunción, so the work doesn’t wait on me.

I’m also Web Platform Administrator at SDSU Research Foundation for the SDSU HealthLINK Center 

Off the clock: guitar, early runs, and a camera. Usually somewhere between the hills of Paraguay and the California coast.
