About Saturdays.AI

I founded Saturdays.AI to learn deep learning while building projects with social impact. As founder and president, I help shape our strategy and support the day-to-day work that turns our mission into action. I believe technology becomes more useful when more people can understand it, question it and build with it.

I co-founded Saturdays.AI in 2018 to learn deep learning with a community of makers. I am a self-taught developer and former strategy consultant. My past projects include an underwater augmented reality experience and a wearable to help visually impaired people navigate, which led to a nomination for MIT Under 35. I have been involved in Barcelona’s entrepreneurship community through initiatives including Startup Weekend, Global Shapers and StartupGrind.

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and hold Spanish nationality. As Europe Manager, my work focuses on supporting community operations and growth. I enjoy learning across disciplines, communicating and working as part of a team. Helping and teaching others gives my work purpose.

I lead the global team, provide support to the communities and also strategic advice. My great passion is the human brain, although I am a computer engineer by training and I have worked on several AI projects related to health. I have always been fascinated by psychology and neuroscience and believe that the complex interactions of our brain shape our thoughts, memories, feelings and motivations, and ultimately make us human. I like to talk about mental well-being in the modern world, habits, brain-computer interfaces, education, learning, productivity and creativity. You can read me at smartsapiens.net and recommend a good book 😉

As Growth & Partnerships Lead, I bring Saturdays.AI to new communities. I draw on more than a decade of experience in education and educational entrepreneurship. I am a qualified teacher, co-founder of LearniaClub and an alumna of Telefónica Open Future and Banco Santander’s Yuzz programme. My starting question is always the same: how can we bring learning opportunities to people who are not yet part of the community? At Saturdays.AI, I turn that question into strategy.

My goal is to help people to better adapt to a world that, fortunately or not, will be increasingly digital. If I had to apply a motto to myself, «Kaizen» would be my keyword of choice. During my life, I have noticed that continuous improvement can get an individual quite far.

My background is in entrepreneurship and engineering, having founded several startups and digitalization firms.

At Saturdays.AI, I lead diversity initiatives and impact measurement.

I took part in the first edition of AI Saturdays Barcelona and later mentored the first edition in Tarragona. After returning to Ecuador, I became the community lead for AI Saturdays Guayaquil. As a teacher and entrepreneur, I aim to create a positive impact by sharing and applying what I learn. My experience spans data science, machine learning, control systems, electricity, robotics and telecommunications, as well as application development and project management. One of my goals is to contribute to Ecuador’s technological development.
