About Me

Hey! I'm Pablo, a builder at heart. I love creating tech projects, learning from them, and surrounding myself with brilliant people who challenge and inspire me. That drive led me to pursue a Master's in Computer Science at EPFL, where I deepened my passion for software and machine learning while meeting incredible minds. It also brought me to Invopop, a YC startup revolutionizing electronic invoicing, where I've grown as an engineer and discovered another passion-building and designing products that are both technically impressive and user-friendly.

I thrive on challenges, whether in hackathons, competitive programming, or sports. I've played basketball and tennis at a high level for years, and that competitive mindset has shaped the way I approach everything-I love improving, learning, and pushing myself to be better. But beyond competition, what drives me most is helping others. Whether it's teaching technical courses, co-founding IdEst to support struggling students, or building AI-powered tools to solve real-world problems, I find real joy in making an impact. If I can help, I will-it's as simple as that.

I'm also deeply curious. I love understanding how things work, talking to experts in different fields, and diving into topics like social psychology, business, and deep tech. I'm always eager to explore new ideas, whether it's through coding, reading, or just having great conversations. And when I'm not working on a project, you'll probably find me playing basketball, hiking, cycling, or watching Real Madrid play.

One day, I'll definitely build a tech startup. But for now, I'm having fun building, learning, and connecting with like-minded people. If you share the same passion for tech, innovation, or just a good challenge, let's connect!
