Mario Nava
AI / XR Solution Builder | Product & Technology Consultant | LLMs, Automation, AR/VR, and Real-Time 3DI specialize in designing and building technology solutions that connect ideas with real execution - combining intelligent systems, automation, and immersive experiences to solve practical business and product challenges.
As an AI Solution Builder & Consultant, I develop systems that automate processes, integrate LLMs, and enable organizations to operate with greater efficiency and scalability. I work with modern architectures, agentic workflows, and AI-powered products that create impact across operations, education, and digital services.
At the same time, I have a strong trajectory as an XR Solution Builder, creating simulators, virtual training platforms, educational experiences, and interactive activations across AR, VR, and real-time 3D technologies. My XR work combines technical execution, creative direction, and business objectives to deliver immersive products with real utility.
What defines my profile is the ability to bridge the abstract and the practical: I translate complex needs into clear solutions, align multidisciplinary teams, and lead products from concept to production.
I am motivated by environments where technology, creativity, and strategy intersect. I believe AI, automation, and immersive experiences are not isolated trends, but practical tools to transform how people learn, work, and connect.
