Curiosity.
I connect technical depth with business decisions. This is a home for what I’m working on, what I’ve learned, and the ideas I want to explore.
01 / About & approach
A background in computer science, data engineering, product, and an INSEAD MBA. An interest in the decisions that connect them.
Who I am
I’m Mariano Lucas Lizárraga, a computer scientist from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2019) and an INSEAD MBA, class of June 2025.
My work has taken me from data engineering at Falabella and R&D at Synopsys to product and technology work at LIZCAL, and contributing to ConMaestría. My involvement with ConMaestría spans mentoring and development.
Bring engineering, product, and business into the same conversation, so the technical decision serves the problem.
At LIZCAL, ERP implementation began with conversations across the operation, from people on the floor to leadership.
Explore questions through software: how AI agents should use a computer, and how synthetic respondents can help develop market research.
Mentoring is part of my current involvement with ConMaestría, alongside earlier engineering mentorship at Synopsys.
02 / Software experiments
Two projects I’m developing: one about an agent’s authority on a computer, the other about exploring product and market questions.
Linux · In development
Give each AI agent its own OS identity.
An agent needs room to work without inheriting the human’s account or secrets. Nyam is being built around ordinary operating-system users and their native permissions.
The Linux implementation is in development; the protected gateway and wider verification are still being worked on.

Ask fictional respondents structured product questions.
A local desktop workspace for creating synthetic populations, running experiments through Jev, and inspecting how model responses differ across segments or concepts.
The responses help develop hypotheses and improve human research. They are synthetic results, not observed consumer demand.

Mentoring & Development
AI tools for teachers in Chile.
ConMaestría supports lesson planning, assessments, PAES preparation, and the teaching portfolio.
My involvement spans development and mentoring, with a greater focus on mentoring today.

04 / Let’s connect
Find me on LinkedIn to talk about technology, product, strategy, or one of these experiments.
05 / Outside work
I like board and video games, and I’m a Dungeon Master in D&D. Animalia is a personal game-design project that grows out of that interest.
Tabletop role-playing
Dungeon Master. For the fun of it.
Personal project · Trading card game
A trading card game about absurd ecosystems. Plants supply resources; animals become food and fighters. You play a human Zoowalker, gathering specimens for an increasingly questionable research thesis.
“If Pokémon can have an in-universe TCG of their beasts, why can’t we?”
Open for all. Print and play.
