Beyond Code:
Technology &
Human Flourishing

"Humanity's greatest potential isn't in advancing technology, but in solving the needs of those we build it for."

What do I do?

Technology shapes how we think, feel, and act—yet we build it to sell, not to serve.

I'm Nicolás, a Systems and Computing Engineering student and musician minoring in Anthropology. I build technology grounded in engineering, behavioral sciences, and the arts to cultivate human flourishing.

If you're working to make innovation serve people—let's connect and make it real.

Areas of Focus

Technology & Human Flourishing

Creating products that genuinely serve people rather than exploit them—through building technology that enriches life's most important domains: physical and mental health, happiness and life satisfaction, meaning and purpose, and social relationships.

AI & Human Potential

Developing AI as collaborative partners that amplify human capability rather than replace it—through creating systems that enhance our thinking, accelerate learning, and support decision-making while preserving human agency and creativity.

Interdisciplinarity & Responsible Innovation

Ensuring innovation anticipates and prevents unintended consequences—through actively integrating cross-disciplinary perspectives from the start while maintaining team focus and efficiency.
