Ex investigador científico en META-AI (anteriormente Facebook-AI) y titular de dos postítulos en Inteligencia Artificial de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile y la Universidad de Chile. Actualmente, estoy ampliando mis conocimientos como estudiante de postgrado en el Centro Nacional de Inteligencia Artificial (CENIA), cursando un Magíster en Inteligencia Artificial en la Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez.

Mi carrera se destaca por una sólida experiencia en investigación y desarrollo de tecnologías avanzadas, especialmente en el aprendizaje profundo y el desarrollo de sistemas mecanobiológicos autónomos. He liderado el desarrollo de diversos modelos de aprendizaje autónomo, incluidos modelos de lenguaje sin límites, modelos avanzados con capacidad de autoaprendizaje y autorreprogramación, MLCC y ERNME, entre otros. Mi enfoque se centra en la transferencia de conocimientos y experiencias de sistemas biológicos a sistemas mecanobiológicos, buscando replicar y optimizar los mecanismos de aprendizaje y adaptación naturales en contextos artificiales. Estas arquitecturas se han aplicado en bioingeniería, innovando en el diseño y desarrollo de sistemas biológicos sintéticos, en el procesamiento de lenguaje natural para crear agentes de autoaprendizaje avanzado, y en la industria aeroespacial, de simulación y recreativa.
