I'm studying Industrial Engineering with a major in Information Technology at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and I'm the co-founder of Recursa Labs, an artificial intelligence and data consultancy.

I work between engineering and business: I gather requirements, design the solution, deploy it to the cloud and make sure it keeps running. Before Recursa I worked at the UC Anacleto Angelini Innovation Center, where I took an AI agent from requirements gathering to production.

Away from the computer I play rugby for the UC National Team and for All Brads, and I run student events and tours.
