Researcher & Writer
Chilean, based in Barcelona.
I am an AI researcher and author with a track record of peer-reviewed publications on combinatorial optimization and the philosophy of computation, and books on programming, algorithms, and artificial intelligence.
Researcher at Apeiron Intelligence, with a Ph.D. in Computer Science & AI from the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). My work spans three fronts — combinatorial optimization, software tooling, and the philosophy of computation — that share one question.
I publish books in Spanish (technical and essayistic), articles in English (scientific and philosophical), and teach Machine Learning. I test every idea through code.
