Early Life and Entrepreneurial Beginnings

Eliseo Robles was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and spent his formative years across multiple countries, developing a global perspective that would later define his approach to technology and business. His family relocated several times during his childhood—from Mexico to Iowa, then to Saltillo, and later to Mexico City—exposing him to diverse cultures and environments from an early age. Robles demonstrated exceptional entrepreneurial instincts before reaching high school. At just 13 years old, he founded Shimencraft, a Minecraft gaming server that rapidly grew into one of the most popular independent servers in the community. By age 14, the server was generating over $10,000 per month in revenue and supporting more than 2,000 concurrent players. His success earned him an invitation to Minecon 2014, the official Minecraft convention, where he networked with other young entrepreneurs and game developers—an experience that marked his first significant exposure to building and monetizing online communities at scale. The Shimencraft venture generated over $200,000 during its operation and taught Robles foundational lessons about community dynamics, user psychology, and sustainable business practices. When he recognized the platform was optimizing for engagement over genuine value, he made the difficult decision to shut it down and refund users—a choice he credits as formative to his ethical approach to technology development.

International Experience and Education

Before attending university, Robles pursued international experience through an industrial apprenticeship at LafargeHolcim Europe in Untervaz, Switzerland (2017). The intensive program rotated him through all operational areas of the cement manufacturing facility, including welding and mechanical maintenance, chemical analysis and quality control, safety protocols and controlled blasting operations, railway operations, and IT systems management. Robles was notably the only computer science student selected for a program typically reserved for industrial engineering candidates. The experience instilled a deep appreciation for how complex systems integrate—from raw materials to digital controls—and the importance of precision, safety, and cross-functional collaboration. During this period, Robles also served as a leader in the Goodwall Ambassador Program in Switzerland, further expanding his international network. Despite a scheduling oversight that caused him to miss the ACT examination, Robles secured a full academic scholarship to The University of Texas at Dallas, where he studied Computer Science. While his grades suffered due to the demands of building and selling his first company during his undergraduate years, the experience proved invaluable. He has since supplemented his technical education with executive business coursework at Harvard University and Cornell University, bridging the gap between engineering expertise and strategic business leadership.

Career

Robles Consulting LLC (2017–Present)
Robles founded Robles Consulting LLC in September 2017—while still a teenager—to provide end-to-end product and cloud consulting for startups, SMBs, and enterprise teams. The consultancy operates on a shared-risk partnership model, aligning compensation with measurable business outcomes. Through Robles Consulting, he has delivered more than 30 production systems spanning artificial intelligence, mobile applications, and web platforms. His work includes responsive marketing sites and full-stack SaaS platforms serving over 2 million monthly visitors with sub-200ms page loads; multi-tenant web and mobile applications—reservation engines, nutrition planners, quoting tools, and workflow automation dashboards—that reduced client operating costs by 25–40% on average; DevOps pipelines using Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Kubernetes that compressed release cycles from weeks to same-day deployments; and GPU-optimized AI services powering features such as automated goal-to-action plans and real-time content moderation. His fractional CTO engagements have included architecture reviews, security hardening, and technical due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and fundraising rounds totaling over $50 million in transaction value. The firm maintains a distributed network of engineers, designers, and data scientists, with internal playbooks adopted by 15+ client teams across five verticals: health and wellness, hospitality, e-commerce, industrial technology, and media.

Lumina Education (2018–2020)
While pursuing his degree at UT Dallas, Robles co-founded Lumina Education, an educational technology platform designed to serve students in underserved communities across rural Mexico. The platform addressed a critical challenge: delivering quality education to students with limited and intermittent internet connectivity. Rather than building for ideal infrastructure conditions, Robles engineered Lumina as an offline-first system capable of operating on borrowed smartphones and 2G networks. The platform synchronized educational content when connectivity was available but remained fully functional without it. He designed adaptive learning algorithms that improved student retention rates by 40%, using data analytics to personalize content delivery based on comprehension patterns. A real-time analytics dashboard tracked learning outcomes across 50+ metrics, empowering teachers with actionable insights despite limited technical backgrounds. The venture won the Inc Monterrey Startup Accelerator in 2017, selected from over 200 applicants. Robles was subsequently invited back as a featured alumni speaker in 2018 to share scaling strategies with new cohorts. At its peak, Lumina Education served more than 5,000 students across Mexico. Students with no consistent internet access achieved a 67% course completion rate—only marginally lower than the 71% rate among students with reliable connectivity—demonstrating that thoughtful engineering could make infrastructure nearly irrelevant to educational outcomes. The company was successfully acquired by a private education group during Robles's junior year, with the platform expanding to 3x its user base post-acquisition.

Charles Schwab (2020–2024)
Robles joined Charles Schwab as a Core Technology Services Intern in June 2020, where he built an internal web portal that streamlined server provisioning and database management, reducing manual tasks by 40% for offshore teams. The JavaScript/PHP frontend with SaltStack integration handled 200+ server configurations. During the internship, Robles won a company-wide intern hackathon with a financial literacy gamification prototype. The victory led to an invitation to join Schwab Charitable's R&D initiative, where he was selected to explore metaverse and gamification technologies to revolutionize financial literacy education for youth audiences. Working as a Java Developer, he developed immersive 3D educational experiences within popular gaming platforms, built microservices connecting educational content APIs with game engines, and collaborated with behavioral scientists and education specialists. The proof-of-concept demonstrated 65% higher engagement rates compared to traditional e-learning approaches. Impressed by his technical skills and innovation mindset, Schwab leadership offered Robles a contract position during his senior year, which evolved into a full-time Software Engineer role from January 2021 through December 2024. During his tenure, he served as the primary knowledge owner for SSIS, .NET batch processing, and legacy system architecture across multiple business units. He led the migration of critical SSIS packages to modern .NET Core services, reducing batch processing failures by 30%. He mentored 15+ new hires through Schwab's NERD program, creating onboarding documentation and conducting technical training sessions. He collaborated with offshore development teams, providing technical guidance and code reviews, and supported Schwab Charitable initiatives with technical solutions for campaign tracking and donor analytics. Robles received multiple promotions during his four years at Schwab, recognizing his technical expertise and leadership contributions.

Nurivatech.ai and SportFX (2023–Present)
In August 2023, Robles joined Nurivatech as the first technical hire and Chief Software Engineer, building the company's entire technical foundation from zero while bootstrapping. He designed and shipped the initial sportFX.ai MVP in four months, validating product-market fit, and architected the core computer vision pipeline from whiteboard concept to processing 70,000+ biomechanical data points in real-time on commodity hardware. Promoted to Chief Technology Officer in January 2025, Robles now leads an 18-engineer organization spanning computer vision, machine learning, and full-stack development. Under his technical leadership, SportFX has achieved remarkable milestones: • Patent-pending technology: Invented a computer vision pipeline that extracts 70,000+ biomechanical data points from a single video clip • Lab-grade precision: Achieved 95% accuracy compared to $500,000 motion capture systems, with sub-60-second turnaround on footage up to 300 fps • LLM orchestration: Pioneered an AI layer that transforms complex biomechanical physics into real-time, actionable coaching cues • Strategic partnerships: Forged relationships with MLB clubs, NFL athletes, and leading sports science brands • Capital efficiency: Reached cash-flow positive pre-launch with zero paid marketing spend The platform democratizes elite athletic coaching by transforming standard smartphone video into detailed biomechanical analysis, providing athletes, coaches, and parents with insights previously available only through expensive motion capture laboratories. SportFX's AI has been trained on thousands of youth athletes and can detect early biomechanical patterns associated with future injuries—warning signs that often go unnoticed until damage has occurred.

Community Building
Beyond his primary ventures, Robles has demonstrated a consistent ability to build and nurture online communities. He founded Watch Discord, which grew to become the largest independent watch enthusiast community with over 7,000 members. The community has evolved beyond horology to become a gathering place for founders, designers, engineers, and craftspeople united by an appreciation for precision, craftsmanship, and building things that last.

Philosophy and Approach
