Team¶

Internal Dashboard

The Dream Team behind Absolutely Plausible. Family core, formalized May 2026. Bebeco was already informally documented in AP's working orbit going back years; Samuel is the next generation coming in. AP is, and always has been, a "we" project.

Members¶

Luiz Wagner Mestrinho — Founder & Main Operations¶

The face and hands of AP. Decision-maker and executor. Based in Orlando, FL. Trilingual (EN/PT/ES). Founded AP in July 2014; became the sole AP after the 2019 disband from co-founder Dustin Chiara.

See Identity for the full profile.

Luiz Americo Mestrinho — "Bebeco" — Operations Oversight & Strategic Advisor¶

Luiz's father. Based in Brazil. Primary language: Portuguese.

Background: - Systems Analyst by training - Has been coding and programming since before Luiz was born - Built his own PC from aftermarket parts sourced in Paraguay - Was already informally part of AP's working orbit — appeared in the old PCJ team docs as "Bebeco | Dad" alongside Luiz at trackside events

Role in AP: - Oversees all operations - Not every decision needs his approval, but his advice always informs decisions - Strategic counsel + senior engineering perspective - Bridge to Brazilian market when needed

Samuel Mestrinho — Future Contributor¶

Luiz's younger brother. Lives in Cuiabá, MT, Brazil with their father.

Status: - First internship currently - Computer Science studies (graduation date pending verification) - Age ~19–21 (pending verification) - Busy, but coming in as capacity opens up

Role in AP: - Backup + future contributor - Currently held as a placeholder seat; will activate when his career capacity allows

Hierarchy in plain language¶

Bebeco advises — his perspective shapes the bigger decisions, but he doesn't gate day-to-day work
Luiz decides + executes — founder authority, runs operations, signs contracts
Samuel ramps in — placeholder role now, real contributor later

Bilingual operations are natural: Portuguese with family, English with US clients.

What this changes¶

Before May 14, 2026	After
AP framed as "Luiz solo with collaborators"	AP framed as family team with Luiz as founder
"I" in most copy	"We" wherever possible — even more literal now
Sole prop, no future entity plan	Sole prop today, with a clear future LLC trigger when Samuel comes in full-time
Internal access: Luiz only	Internal access expanding to Bebeco + Samuel (pending Cloudflare Access setup)

Legal note¶

AP remains a sole proprietorship under Luiz personally. Bebeco and Samuel are advisors/contributors, not legal partners — yet.

Trigger for entity change: when Samuel becomes a full-time contributor or when family contributions cross a threshold of revenue-producing labor, revisit:

LLC with multi-member structure (Luiz primary, family as members)
Family-owned S-Corp election once revenue justifies tax treatment
Cross-border considerations: Bebeco + Samuel are in Brazil. Need to address how non-US-resident family participation in a US entity works (tax treaty, US tax reporting, Brazilian tax reporting). Will require a CPA conversation when relevant.

See AP Legal Structure — and the canonical legal memory.

Open questions / placeholders¶

Bebeco's email address — needed for Cloudflare Access on the upcoming family workspace
Samuel's email address — same
Verify Samuel's age + graduation date
Decide subdomain for the family workspace (e.g., team.robotfantome.com)
Decide repo name for the family workspace
Workspace primary language: EN, PT-BR, or bilingual?

Aspirational goal¶

"Once we are successful, I will be the first generation Entrepreneur, Billionaire in the Family." — Luiz, 2026-05-14

That's the destination. The Dream Team gets us there.
