Beyond work

I studied at institutions in Ecuador and Mexico, and did research and taught in Canada. My social channels follow the behind the scenes of that journey.

Long-form ideas live on Substack.
Let’s build something interesting.
I’m always interested in meeting founders, builders, researchers and people working on ambitious ideas.
