About

California native, currently in Madrid, bootstrapped an agentic solution that helps developers reduce noise and resolve issues faster. I don't there will be a AI job apocalypse. I actually predict more SWE will be hired in the next 18-24 months. I think tokenmaxxing is dumb because usage quantity does not equate to output quality. I believe AI can be an equalizer and can create a level playing field for us to work better.

How do you get back into “work mode” after holidays or a sabbatical?

Honestly, I sometimes feel a bit of internal pressure or even fear that if I miss something, it will be hard to get back into work, especially because I m strongly embedded in tech.

And you can see it when you disconnect for 2 or 3 days and don t follow the news, you feel mentally better, but at the same time you start losing that sense of overview that feels quite important for your career.

How much money do you think is enough to start and launch a startup?

A lot of people try to raise funding before they even begin.

And then sometimes I read those zero to hero stories. (Maybe they re a bit "polished" by the media to have publicity.)

In any case, building products has become much easier from a technical perspective, which also makes it cheaper especially for software startups.

What qualities do you think a founder should have?

There are founders you d love to NOT work for. And then there are founders whose company you wouldn t want to leave, no matter what.

A big part of that comes down to people, their values, and their character.

And often, that starts with the founder.
