My personal life unfolds between stillness and movement. You can often find me meditating, doing yoga, playing chess, or dancing freely to the sound, creating a symphony of being. Sports and outdoor adventures fuel my days, alongside music appreciation and composition, while timeless tales like "The Little Prince" and "The Knight in Rusty Armor" stir something deep within me and awaken my sensibility. My intellectual appetite spans psychology, anthropology, nutrition, sports sciences, and spirituality—fields that illuminate the art of living well—as well as economics, politics, and technology, which I see as the fundamental forces shaping the world around us.
About Me
01
Born in 2004 in Cali, Colombia, I attended a school where arts, embodied practices, and spirituality converged around a simple yet profound question: "How can we live better lives?" This environment shaped my early years as I explored music, competed in sports, and developed habits of introspection and mindfulness that would later draw me to Buddhist practice.
02
Throughout my youth, I had the opportunity to travel and live alongside indigenous communities across Colombia, including the Ticuna in the Amazon, the Wayuu in Guajira, the Misak in Cauca, and the Arhuaco in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. These experiences challenged my assumptions about progress and well-being, as I shared with communities that measured wealth in relationships rather than possessions and that integrated spiritual practice with daily work.
03
I discovered AI at 19 and taught myself to code, fascinated by its potential to address the human challenges I'd witnessed in different communities—yet concerned about its capacity for harm. Simultaneously, my Buddhist practice deepened to the point where I seriously considered monastic life. These weren't competing interests but complementary approaches to my pursuit of greater well-being—which began to merge after I earned a full academic scholarship to study across multiple disciplines.
04
I'm now studying Systems and Computing Engineering with a minor in Anthropology at Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá, while pursuing entrepreneurship. I believe integrating technical and humanistic perspectives is essential for creating technology that addresses genuine human needs rather than artificial ones—technology that answers one evolving childhood question: "How can we create technology that helps us live better lives?"
