25 YEARS IN TECHNOLOGY / ALWAYS LEARNING

Julián MedinaIdeasput towork.

I’m Julián Medina. A nerd who understands business. For 25 years, I have worked with technology: learning, building and evolving alongside the businesses I work with. Today I focus on applied AI, B2B ecommerce and what happens when an idea meets the reality of running a company.

01 / MY PERSPECTIVE

Think differently.
Build. Learn. Keep going.

I want to put innovation to work: build something, test it against a real problem and learn from what happens.

01

AI needs
to understand the business.

An agent becomes useful when it understands the company’s history, rules and tools. At SourcingUp, we are building that continuity as agents work alongside us.

02

Ecommerce that grows
with your wholesale business.

I created CommerceUp to help distributors, manufacturers and importers grow their B2B sales. It is a wholesale ecommerce platform that adapts to how you sell today and evolves with what your business needs next.

03

We can also
question the rules.

Why do we accept that a feed decides what we see? Are we entering the singularity without realizing it? What does it mean to think on your own when a machine can do it too? I like to explore these questions and imagine other ways of living and building with technology.

Super Humans

People expanding what they can do by working with AI agents. At SourcingUp, we are building teams where human judgment, business context and the execution capabilities of technology reinforce one another.

02 / WORK IN PRACTICE

Ideas need
a place to prove themselves.

COMPANY / PEOPLE + AI AGENTS

SourcingUp

I have led SourcingUp since 2008. We build digital solutions for businesses and use AI in our own operations. It is where we put agents to work alongside people, sharing context, tools and responsibilities.

PRODUCT / DIGITAL WHOLESALE CHANNEL

CommerceUp

I created CommerceUp to bring wholesale sales online for distributors, manufacturers and importers. Customers sign in, see their own prices and terms, and place orders that connect to the way the business operates.

A SourcingUp platform: a SaaS subscription with ongoing development, and no commission on sales.

DISCOVERY / CONTEXT AND CONTINUITY

Digital DNA

Building my Digital DNA changed my life. I brought together my history, ideas and lessons learned so that AI could work with me in the context of who I am and what I am trying to do.

It helped me connect what I know, carry projects forward and turn ideas into action. I believe it can also change how other people learn, create and work. That is why I keep building it and sharing what I discover.

19 MAY 2026 / IDEAS

What if we could change how social media shapes our thinking?

A question about who designs the environment where we think. And the possibility of building feeds that we can choose, understand and modify.

It's already happening.

What we learned from working with Mr. Anderson: the context, continuity and tools needed to bring an agent into CommerceUp’s engineering workflow.

04 / ABOUT ME

I started with BASIC.
Still asking questions.

I started programming at ten on a TI-99/4A. That curiosity still guides my work.

After 25 years in the industry, I still work where technology meets business. Today that means AI working inside companies, B2B ecommerce built around real trading rules, and identities that both people and machines can understand.

ThinkUp is where I write about that journey as it unfolds. Sometimes it starts with a product problem. Sometimes with a conversation, my children or an idea I cannot stop thinking about. It almost always leads to another question.

SPEAKING / COMPANY EVENTS AND PRIVATE GROUPS

A talk that opens up new questions.
And turns thinking into action.

I speak about AI in business, B2B ecommerce and how technology is changing the way we work and think.

I bring 25 years of hands-on experience in business to questions about what comes next. My talks are for teams, company events and private groups, with practical business context and room for a real conversation.
