About me
I was born in a small mining village in Colombia. By sixteen I found myself broke and homeless. At the lowest point in my life, I was lost, alone, and without hope for the future. I found a mentor, someone who saw potential in me where others didn't, and within a few years, I went from the streets to scoring one of the highest SAT grades in the country. I got back the fire in my eyes and the will to fight for my life.
By 2002, I had moved to Bogota for college, where I graduated as a software engineer. I didn't stop there. Using my math and coding expertise applied to technical stock analysis, I made a fortune investing in financial markets. I got too greedy and lost 90% in a couple of weeks. Deciding to change my life, I bought a motorcycle and traveled the world.
Later on, I started Axiacore to build the products I wanted to see in the world. We got very–very good at it, allowing me to work with amazing people and have the opportunity to invest in over a dozen companies, today worth over $100 million combined.
In January 2022, I moved to Austin, Texas. Here, I build products, learn, and explore new ways to use technology to achieve a superior way of living–and being.
Along the way, I've developed a deep appreciation for the arts, particularly sculptures, and spent countless hours exploring Roman history and stoic philosophy, reading and writing. I'm looking for truth and beauty.
My endgame is to die with nothing else to give.
