JP Chavat

Hey there! I’m JP — a senior engineer turned agentic engineer, builder, and entrepreneur. After 13+ years building scalable backend systems, I’m now focused on building autonomous AI systems that handle real-world tasks end-to-end.

I hold a Master’s in Computer Science and am currently studying Economics. I’m driven by the development of PoCs, MVPs, and R&D environments — always learning. The shift from backend to agentic AI wasn’t a pivot; it was a natural evolution of the same instinct: build systems that do useful work reliably, at scale.

What I’m Doing Now

Lead Engineer, Helixia — Responsible for the architecture and end-to-end development of Helixia’s agentic automation platform. I work on integrations with customer systems, enable omnichannel agent deployment, and build real-time data access and intuitive configuration tools so AI agents can handle inquiries, quotes, and orders autonomously.

Independent Contractor, Lemon.io — Collaborating on cutting-edge AI-driven systems through a platform that vets the top 1% of engineers — from designing chat-based agent platforms to automating large-scale workflows. I leverage OpenAI Agent SDK and LangGraph to orchestrate multi-agent, cloud-native solutions, and architect fully automated AWS infrastructure from the ground up.

Recent Ventures

Beyond the Code

When I’m not building, you might find me analyzing economic trends, exploring new tech tools, or studying economics at UDELAR (expected 2026). If you’re passionate about AI, economics, or building things that matter, let’s connect!
