Get to know me Alonso Rivera

I've been starting things since my teens. Studying Communications gave me a grounding in how people think and communicate; building businesses taught me to listen, make decisions, and take responsibility for what happened next.

Over the past decade, I've worked close to both customers and technology. I enjoy understanding a problem well enough to explain it clearly, sketch a solution, and build a prototype that helps everyone decide what to do next.

I founded Teqvita to help dentists and dental technicians bring digital tools into their daily work. We sold 3D printers and scanners, but our work also involved helping people adopt a different way of producing.

I created our experience and training center, where we trained more than 200 dentists and dental technicians in digital workflows. We covered exocad, NemoCast, Blue Sky Bio, 3D printing, scanning, and milling. I also sold Medit and Shining desktop and intraoral scanners and personally handled customer onboarding.

That experience shaped how I work today: understand the existing routine, demonstrate what could change, and help people feel comfortable using the tools themselves.

In 2021, I spent four months collaborating with Oqton through Teqvita, testing material settings, positioning, and automatic supports with biocompatible resins and sharing feedback from the prints. During the pandemic, our team also developed a 3D-printed adapter for dental suction equipment, intended to limit aerosol spread during procedures. The project won second place nationally in a Fundación Telefónica competition.

At Realigner Perú, a digital dental laboratory focused on clear aligners, I brought that experience into operations and commercial development. I worked with clinics and the production team to connect what the customer needed with the steps required to deliver it.

It gave me a closer view of the whole workflow: communication with clinics, coordination with the lab, and follow-through on each case. I learned how much the customer experience depends on what happens between those steps.

Since May 2024, I've worked in operations and business development at Skaiteks America Corp., which supplies medium- and high-voltage electrical equipment. The sector changed, but the work still brings together customers, manufacturers, and technical teams.

International tenders and customer development have taken me to Colombia, Argentina, and Italy. Those conversations help me understand both the commercial opportunity and the technical requirements that determine whether a proposal can work.

I also built a shared technical-commercial control system around the team's need for clearer follow-up. It brings cases, responsibilities, priorities, deadlines, and next steps into one place, giving the team a common view of the work.

The system connects tender tracking with technical approvals, certifications, and manufacturer information. Building it meant understanding how those activities depend on each other and making that relationship visible in the daily workflow.

Working across sales and operations has taught me to carry a customer's request through negotiation, technical coordination, and follow-up. That is the experience I draw on when I build a new tool.

AI has become part of how I explore ideas and solve recurring problems. At Skaiteks, I created reusable agent instructions to help analyze technical and commercial tender documents and translate them using the terminology of the energy sector.

I use agents to build prototypes, test a workflow, and make an idea concrete enough to discuss. When a project needs production engineering, I can bring the customer context, process, and prototype to the engineers who will define the architecture and make it robust.

MIRÓ Labs is where I keep building on that experience. Some projects start with a problem at work; others with my own curiosity about books, records, sound, or learning. I use design, AI, and experimentation to see how far an idea can go.

A Mandarin voice tutor came from wanting to practice every day. My book and vinyl projects came from wanting a better way to enjoy my collections. Building things I use gives me a reason to keep testing, noticing what gets in the way, and improving them.

I'm based in Lima, with Peruvian and Italian citizenship, and open to international travel and relocation. I'm interested in working with teams that want to bring useful technology into people's everyday work.

If you have a problem worth exploring or an idea you'd like to put to the test, I'd love to hear about it.
