About me

I'm Ignacio, Chilean 🇨🇱 a Computer Science Engineer (BSc) from the Santa María University. Most of what I've learned in tech has been self-taught, always finding a way to solve problems and create solutions.

I was the CTO of Block Capital, a fintech startup that I helped build from scratch into a full-stack product. That experience brought me to Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸 after being selected by Lanzadera, one of Europe's top accelerators.

My path hasn't been linear: I went from learning on my own in Chile to leading projects and people in Europe. That mix of being self-taught and an entrepreneur defines my way of working: always looking for solutions, with the conviction that every challenge is an opportunity for growth.
