I build software, AI tools, websites, and films in San Antonio.
I am Adrian Cisneros. I also teach AI workshops and do research. This year I wrote software for the U.S. Air Force and published a paper on AI. I have time for a new project right now.
This year
- AI that keeps working on damaged chipsI tested an AI that keeps working when the chip it runs on starts to break.
- Software for the U.S. Air ForceI wrote software for the U.S. Air Force and fixed a high-severity security flaw in it.
- Bring Your Biggest Headache, Leave With an AI PlanI was the guest speaker. Business owners typed their biggest problem and got an AI plan.
- Scrap-Tech Syndicate, first place at JagHacksPoint your phone at old electronics and my app says revive, salvage, or recycle.

I take on software, AI tools, websites, video, workshops, research, and tech help. Pick what you need and answer a couple of quick questions. You will see an estimate, and then you can send it to me.
“Adrian has achieved more than most students in four years of college do by doing research and getting his papers published. His use of AI puts him in the top 1% of power users by building systems and applications that make processes for other people and companies easier to handle than before.”

What I am building: my own companies. The first is Synthiq, my software studio. After I graduate in spring 2027, I plan to move to San Francisco or Austin and grow it. Until then my prices are lower than most, because I am building a portfolio of real work.
