Hello, I'm

Felipe Cordero

Full-stack AI product engineer at Fireraven. Guardrails, compliance, and secure LLM agents.

Full-stack AI product engineer at Fireraven, where we help enterprises deploy LLM agents with security, auditing, and policy-driven controls—from no-code guardrails to runtime enforcement and red-teaming. I bridge product priorities with AI systems engineering so customers can adopt agents safely and at scale.

About Me

Technical product engineer in AI—turning security, compliance, and product goals into shipped software for LLM agents. I started in structural engineering in Chile, moved into software and automation in construction and BIM, then into AI/ML and LLM-based products. Today I’m a full-stack AI product engineer at Fireraven, focused on AI agent security and compliance: scoping with product and customers, designing policies and guardrails, and shipping APIs and UIs teams rely on—not a generic backend role. I’ve led complex, cross-disciplinary work from R&D through delivery, including the Academic Excellence Scholarship (Air Canada, Collège LaSalle Montréal, 2025) for AI/ML studies.
