Who's behind this

My school grades were weak. Outside class, at 14, I flew airliners on IVAO, a simulation network with live air traffic control, and studied the training courses that real pilots among my friends mailed to me on CD.

Around then I watched The Matrix. One scene stayed with me: Trinity on a skyscraper roof, with a helicopter as the only way out, asks Tank to load a pilot program. Hours of flying, learned in seconds. I thought that one day interfaces would disappear and our minds would connect directly to technology.

I started Computer Engineering and, at last, the grades came. But one day I realised that if I did not sit the officer entrance exam that year, I would never know whether I could have become a military pilot.

I prepared like never before. My mother would switch off my bedroom light to make me stop studying. When I set my mind on something I am stubborn: I believe the will to win decides in the end. I ranked fifth out of more than a thousand candidates.

I joined the Spanish Air Force as an officer. Three years later flight training began, and I knew I had been born for it. After the Air Force Academy I was among the few selected for fighters. I did not believe it until I broke the sound barrier in one.

My first posting was Gran Canaria. In more than ten years as an F-18 pilot I flew real missions and exercises with air forces from many countries.

In 2019 I completed the Tactical Leadership Programme, Europe's most demanding tactical course. There, how you fly counts less than how you lead a team of several nations and very different roles. At the end, my peers voted me the course Warrior: the most outstanding, chosen by everyone. I lead up close, as a team, with common sense. First I structure the information at hand, then I enrich it with what each person brings, and only then do I decide.

Years later I proposed Reporta, a tool to file operational safety reports from any device. A reporting culture only exists if reporting is easy.

During covid I took up algorithmic trading. I studied programming for finance and numerical methods, wrote bots and strategy backtests, and learned what it takes to run them in production: backend, frontend, concurrency, DevOps and CI/CD pipelines. I stopped when I realised that what excited me more was building ventures that change something, and perhaps one day leaving the world better than I found it.

I studied entrepreneurship and startups. With a partner I launched Bullify, an algorithmic trading project, and learned that a good idea is not enough: it has to fit the regulatory framework and pay for itself. Then I joined NewToDrive, which set out to open up training for the truck licence and ease the driver shortage. Finally, my friendship with Miguel Ángel Romero, of Minery Report, gave me the chance to learn to build software for companies.

I have worked with much of today's AI tooling: LiveKit, Temporal, Inngest, Langfuse, LangChain. But that work taught me that AI has to serve a purpose. The need flows from people to technology, never the other way round.

With that idea I have built systems of several agents that coordinate with each other, interfaces generated on the fly from what you ask, and document processing across several engines at once, without depending on a single provider. That work has taken me to companies with international reach. At the law firm CYSAE, Ponente, an AI legal assistant, cut contract review from weeks to days.

That Matrix scene is now my vision: a world with no friction between what someone needs and what happens in the real world, where stating the intention is enough. You say “show me the revenue forecast for the next three months” and it appears on screen in seconds. That used to take time and specialists.
