Carlos Taborda Jaraba
Carlos is a technologist and systems builder with over 20 years of experience designing and operating complex software systems. He founded Workflow Capital to apply the same engineering discipline to options markets, building automated infrastructure that harvests volatility premium with institutional-grade safety controls.
Before Workflow Capital, Carlos led technology teams building AI-powered automation platforms across healthcare, financial services, and enterprise software. His approach to portfolio management reflects this background: every trade flows through a five-gate execution protocol, every position is validated by a multi-layer quality filter, and every dollar is fully cash-secured.
Investment Philosophy
We sell time
Every option contract is a bet on time. Buyers pay for the possibility that something dramatic happens before expiration. We sell that possibility. Most of the time, nothing dramatic happens. The premium decays. We collect.
Cash-secured, always
No margin. No leverage. The full strike value is held in cash for every position. We know our maximum risk at all times, and we never borrow to amplify returns.
Quality is the moat
A proprietary four-layer filtration system ensures we only engage with fundamentally sound companies. We pick businesses we would be comfortable owning, then we pick the options.
Machines execute, humans decide
Proprietary systems enforce position sizing, entry criteria, and profit-taking rules across every trade. The system cannot be overridden. Discipline is infrastructure.
