About Me

My Journey

I'm a serial entrepreneur and full-stack developer with a passion for solving real-world problems through innovative technology. Currently pursuing Software Engineering with a minor in Data Science and AI at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, while simultaneously building multiple startups.

As CTO & Founder of LineApp, I'm revolutionizing nightclub management with automated customer data collection and Mercado Pago integrations. Simultaneously, as CEO & Founder of FlameSense, I'm developing AI-powered wildfire prevention systems that can detect fire risks in 30 seconds and aim to protect 10,000 hectares this season.

My journey includes groundbreaking research at University of Notre Dame in AI and Computer Vision, neuroscience research at UC Chile, and hands-on experience in ML/AI at companies like Xpendit. I'm also part of the prestigious MassChallenge UK 2025 Cohort and studying at Universität St. Gallen for startup and business growth.

From developing neural conditioning models to building automated trading bots, I love creating technology that makes a meaningful impact on society and the environment.
