Hello, I am a restless soul passionate about exploring the connections between science, technology, and consciousness.

As an artist, engineer, and entrepreneur, I have extensive experience in the creative and building process, as well as in the tech and academic sectors. I combine technical knowledge with a deep curiosity about the human soul.

My interests focus on improving health and well-being as well as exploring the limits of consciousness through psychonautics. Through my art, projects, and publications, I seek to inspire other souls to be more authentic and to create a more conscious future.

As an artist, I engage in subversive action to help open hearts and awaken consciousness.

💻 Professional Experience

I try to help with my skills.

Currently, I am co-founder of Heratropic, a company where we design technologies to enhance people’s self-awareness and help them navigate the ontological shift we are experiencing. Previously, I was co-founder and CEO of Zensei, a digital health startup for respiratory patients. I was also co-founder of Politibot, a startup focused on political news that won Google’s DNI award two years in a row. And I have worked on other failed projects to get where I am today.

I led data science practices at Smartvel and the data-driven health product team at Sanitas (Bupa) as a Senior Data Scientist. Before that, I worked at IBM as an Advanced Analytics Consultant, designing and building the first Big Data platforms and data science initiatives in Spain. As a data scientist with over 15 years of experience, I have deployed more than 500 statistical learning (AI) models and helped launch data and artificial intelligence initiatives for companies such as BBVA, CaixaBank, Bankinter, 24symbols, SafeTrack, Quantyca, Getro, and Fandit.

For over 10 years, I have been teaching at multiple academic institutions, including Universidad Pontificia de Comillas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Universidad de Alcalá, Instituto de Empresa, The Power Business School, and The Valley Business School. I also give talks and courses to various audiences and organizations on data science, artificial intelligence, complex social systems, and digital health.

As a researcher, I have published in high-impact journals such as Nature and PNAS and was a visiting researcher at the Human Dynamics Lab at MIT Media Lab (USA).

I have solid experience leading and working with multicultural teams internationally in both industrial and academic environments. My approach is centered on empathetic leadership, continuous adaptation to change, and achieving goals.
