[D] FIELD
[00] HOW DID I END UP HERE

At 12, I helped run a cafe. At 16, I started a small profitable business matching online nannies with families, and founded AYM, a worldwide mathematical modelling competition that brought together 500+ students. My team was twice named #1 in Spain for mathematical modelling; our vaccine distribution proposal was adopted into national policy.

I also ran a few 400-person MUN conferences along the way.

My first proper research was at the GRASP Lab at UPenn (robotics, manipulation, control). From there, a full-ride scholarship to UCL, where I studied Robotics and AI.

Outside the work, I love specialty coffee, art, photography, hiking, pottery, and read a lot of books and poetry. I think a lot about open-ended RL, AI safety, and agents. I care deeply about community and sharing opportunities, this year I organized 3 hackathons, with AgentVerse being one of world's larger agentic AI hackathons.
