About me

I open things to see how they work. As a child: the TV, the toaster. Then buildings. Then software. Now companies.

I studied architecture in Bogotá. I learned to draw systems with a pencil before writing them in code. Architects are aces of all trades, masters of none, which translates incredibly well to being an entrepreneur.

In 2012 I founded Axioma Estudio SAS (axiomaestudio.com | axioma.ai), a custom design & software development agency. I personally built 120+ projects during the first 6 years, and I wrote our proprietary framework so each project took less time than the last. The development process went from several weeks to days.

In 2018 I moved to Berlin for an M.Sc. in Project Management and Data Science. My thesis asked why machine-learning projects fail in companies. The answer was simpler than expected: the organization is not ready, and it has no shared vocabulary to see that.

Since then I've founded and led several technology-driven ventures, ranging from a data-driven gender-equity ranking assessing the biggest companies in Latin America, to logistics cost and CO2 emissions optimization, and illicit trade detection with OCR and computer vision.

I'm a pragmatic, solution-driven, and process-oriented person by nature. I'm also infinitely curious and addicted to learning. I tend to think in steps, states and flows. So do machines (and nowadays LLMs). That is why I work well with them.

I'm also a Certified Rescue Scuba Diver (PADI), avid traveler, creative cook, and committed mentor.
