Javier Cobas

I make things that communicate. Video, systems, infrastructure. If it moves information between humans, I'm probably thinking about it.

First-gen. Miami-made.

Cuban-American from Miami. I've been behind the camera for HBO, Amazon, and political campaigns. Now I teach communication at Miami Dade College and build digital infrastructure through COVEN.

I think about where communication technology is going, not where it is. That's led me from documentaries to blockchain to AI agents. The thread is always the same: how do humans move ideas?

From HBO to the campaign trail.

Before I built my own thing, I cut my teeth on sets for HBO, Amazon, and political campaigns. Here's some of that work.
