Marco Esquivel

Founder and Solutions Architect

Marco leads the technical work behind Build Lean, helping turn business needs into connected systems, practical AI tools, and custom software.

Before founding Build Lean, he spent five years as a backend engineer at American Express, working on digital acquisition systems. That experience shaped his approach to building software with reliability, security, and scale in mind.

He also founded R-Voice and builds tools for his own operations. He brings that hands-on perspective to understanding where technology can help and what it takes to make it work in practice.
