Welcome to my site!
I'm one of those people who follow their passions and search in the darkness for something new. Give me the chance to meet you, I'm sure we have something to teach each other. Take a ride around my website while you listen one of your favourite playlists. Don't have one? Choose one of my 100 curated playlists in Spotify or I can recommend you to listen the one I choose to work:
Now that you are in the mood, let me tell you a bit more about myself. I was born in Bogota, Colombia and raised since I was a child travelling around Colombia and South America. My grandmother Gladys has Pijaos indigenous features from El Espinal, my grandfather Eliud R.I.P. was an afrocolombian lawyer from El Cerrito, my other 2 grandparents, Adela and Gustavo, come from the rural fields of Colombia in Cundinamarca region, where they raised their children while farming and trading potatoes in Paloquemao, the main food market in Bogota. I'm one of the first generations in a whole generation that has the chance to speak another languages, live and work in different continents. The gratefulness I feel, gives me an almost magical strength to wake up everyday and build great things for society and also to enjoy everyday. Yes, even Mondays.
In my 33 years, I became an Environmental and Sanitary Engineer from La Salle University (2014), Master in Smart and Sustainable Cities from Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2023), founded and directed the company Beatz Of All Nationz which gave me the chance to lead a 12 people team and developing a project within 11 countries. I have been developing projects since 2014 from the science sector to creative industries which has taught me to listen carefully to others' ideas and build End-to-end projects with CSI-like attention to detail.
Currently, I’m living in Madrid, where I’m researching new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Geographic Information Systems and their relation with cultural services. I'm intrigued for the usability of technology and things (IoT) and its relation with surroundings, although tech is introducing us to digital landscapes, it can also build strong relationships with the real-world surroundings, it's all up to the scope. Therefore, I truly believe that new tech development should address knowledge democratisation, promoting human talents and pushing forward the SDGs achievement.
