Background

About Gustavo Herrera

I'm a CTO and engineering leader turned founder — the hands-on AI architect and CTO of KnowMe.After years leading engineering teams through high-stakes turnarounds — restructuring unstable platforms, delivering certified payment solutions under tight regulatory deadlines, and coordinating cross-border integrations that demanded both deep technical architecture and real leadership — I saw firsthand how broken recruitment has become. Resumes and keyword games hide real talent; shallow profiles get ghosted.That's why I founded KnowMe: to combine long-format, deeply human interviews with custom AI systems I personally design and build to reveal who people truly are and match them to opportunities that fit.What I handle end-to-end: Custom LLM workflows + RAG to extract motivations, patterns, strengths, and authentic narratives from hours of conversation — far beyond generic summarization.Generative workflows for hyper-personalized résumés, LinkedIn optimizations, value propositions, and outreach — grounded in real interview data.Intelligent matching that fuses interview insights with market trends and partner signals for genuine fitPrompt engineering, validation loops, bias mitigation, and iterative fine-tuning — all by me, no black boxes.KnowMe isn't another AI hype tool. It's me applying battle-tested engineering rigor to make hiring reward substance over syntax — so professionals get seen for who they are.If you're tired of filtered-out applications, or you're a recruiter hunting real signal in the noise — let's connect. Open to conversations, feedback, and early collaborations.
