Creative Technologist

Applied AI, data, automation and interactive experiences.

About me

Creative Technologist. Curious, restless and with a humanist outlook.

I develop innovation projects with applied AI, data, automation and interactive experiences. I have also explored video games, virtual reality and experience design: different tools to understand and solve problems.

I enjoy learning, and I learn fast when there is a challenge ahead. I question the first answer, imagine others and build something to test them. I care about what technology helps us do: work, learn and relate to each other better.

Experience

From video games to applied AI, always building.
