Victor Avendaño | AI-Augmented PM
Project management that pairs operational discipline with applied AI
I have 10+ years leading operational and administrative projects across fintech, public sector, and non-profits. I integrate generative AI tools into every project phase — planning, reporting, stakeholder communication — without losing the control and traceability that remote, multi-stakeholder teams require.
Let's talk about your projectAreas of specialization
End-to-end operational projects
Planning, budget tracking, KPI reporting, and vendor coordination, from kickoff through project close.
AI implementation in workflows
Automating report generation, communication drafts, and research synthesis with ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and local models (Ollama, Qwen, DeepSeek).
Public-sector and non-profit projects
Direct experience managing documentation and compliance for Bogotá district government, plus founding and running two non-profits with public-private partnerships.
Remote, multi-stakeholder coordination
Cross-functional work with risk, product, and compliance teams across time zones, with clear written deliverables and structured handoffs.
Relevant experience
Here's how my track record translates into concrete value for your project:
I led a team of 10 and managed full project lifecycles (calendars, budgets, KPI and compliance reporting), achieving 100% adherence to specifications and financial limits. That included a multi-city rollout for a national cinema chain and a formal change order when a technology partner altered its equipment specifications mid-project.
Integrates Claude and OpenAI models for tasks that need cloud processing, and Ollama with Qwen and DeepSeek for local processing.
I managed high-volume case queues on a 2M+ user platform under strict SLAs, building templates and escalation paths that became reusable team assets — the same systematization approach I bring to any project. I also designed an AI-based first-pass filter for source-of-funds verification that cut unnecessary manual review by over 90% and gave users faster feedback on missing documentation.
I designed document retention frameworks (TRD/TVD) aligned to governmental standards, standardizing record-keeping across departments — direct experience in data governance for compliance-heavy projects.

Who I work with
Fintech and startup teams
You need speed, and you cannot afford to lose control while you get it. At ARQ I ran high-volume case queues on a platform with 2M+ users under strict SLAs, and the templates and escalation paths I built became team assets. For you, that means short cycles, written handoffs and an AI-assisted first pass wherever it is safe to use one.
Public-sector entities and non-profits
Your processes are formal, and the paperwork has to hold up when someone reviews it. At the Bogotá district government I designed document retention frameworks (TRD/TVD) aligned to governmental standards, and I have founded and run two non-profits with public-private partnerships. For you, that means clear records, defined approvals and nothing improvised.
Engagement models
Tailored quote based on scope — no published fixed rates. Based in Bogotá (UTC-5), with full availability across time zones, weekends included.
Full-time
Exclusive dedication to your team or organization.
Part-time
Partial support for projects with variable workload.
Per project
Defined scope and deliverables, with a clear end date.
Retainer
Recurring monthly availability for ongoing needs.
I work both with fintech/startup teams that need speed, and with public-sector entities and non-profits operating under more formal processes — without pretending a specialization that isn't backed by real experience.
