Bio
My journey in tech started young, driven by a love for science and a natural curiosity about what technology can do. That curiosity led me to a fun experiment called AskSkynet—one of the first cloud-based GPT-2 implementations, running on an NVIDIA Jetson NX back in early 2019. What started as a side project ended up being the first ChatGPT of the world and kicked off my path to NVIDIA, where I now focus on Edge-AI and Robotics.
Today, as a Senior Developer Advocate at NVIDIA, I work with developers, students, and researchers across EMEA, helping them bring AI into real-world applications with platforms like Jetson and Robotics. I create live demos and workshops to break down complex tech, making tools like GPT, Llama, and AI Agents accessible and engaging for everyone.
Before NVIDIA, I led IBM’s Quantum Community Lab, organizing hackathons and building developer communities in places like the Swiss Alps and the mountains of Tokyo. My work in quantum computing included an IBM patent on visualizing quantum circuits in 3D—an approach similar to methods later used by Google Quantum AI. My passion for VR also led to a spot in the Oculus Launchpad program at Meta after I created a wheeled 6DOF VR experience—think “Mario Kart” in VR at home.
Beyond tech, I love teaching and sharing knowledge. I often speak at international events like TEDx and the MIT Enterprise Forum, using a "From Zero to Hero" approach to make tech feel possible for anyone interested. Whether on stage or online, my goal is to show how technology can open up new possibilities.
I studied Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Deusto, where I was honored as a ProUD Alumni, one of the university's top 50 historical graduates. I was also featured by Business Insider as one of the top 30 Spanish Twitter accounts to follow in tech. Through it all, I’m just a tech enthusiast—always curious 👀 and ready to “break things” 💥 in the name of learning and discovery!
