Not Just a Developer
Hey, I'm Gabriel .
I am on a constant journey of discovery, exploring the intricate complexities of our ever-changing world
- 2001
Born in Girona, Spain
I was born in a small city near Barcelona, Spain.

Telecommunications Engineering at UPC (Barcelona)
At 18, I moved to Barcelona to study Telecommunications Engineering at UPC. Those four years were a crash course in discipline, problem‑solving, and thinking from first principles. I learned to break down complex problems into their simplest parts, a skill that would shape everything I do today.
- During Uni
Discovered programming
During my degree, I discovered programming and the incredible power it gave me: if I could think it, I could build it.

Building PoCs
During my last college year, I joined Entrust in the R&D department, where we built proof‑of‑concepts from scratch. My favorite was Entrust Copilot, an AI agent built before “AI agents” were a thing.
With no AI specialists around, I taught myself everything from classic ML to transformers, inspired by the first papers on LLM tool use (ReAct, ToolBench, ToolAlpaca...). Leading a small team, we turned research into a working PoC that showed how AI Agents could improve the UX of complex enterprise identity software.

Early-stage AI startup
After some frustration with the slow corporate world, I joined Zynap, a six months old startup revolutionizing the way cybersecurity teams work using AI.
I was the second backend engineer, the youngest full‑time employee, and quickly took ownership of a core product, turning a demo into something real for our first paying customers. It was my first taste of the chaos and thrill of early‑stage startups: undefined processes, fast shipping, constant change, and I dove deep into cybersecurity.
- Late nights
Bug bounty marathon
One unforgettable night, our team stayed up until 5 a.m. at a bug bounty event, hacking alongside some of the best in the field.
- Today
Building for teachers
At Zynap, I saw what happens when AI is truly embraced. I went from copy‑pasting ChatGPT suggestions into VSCode to working AI native with tools like Cursor and Claude Code, the productivity leap was massive.
That’s when I met David Roca, a frustrated teacher with a big vision. Today, David and I are cofounders, building a product to bring the same kind of productivity gains I saw in engineering, but to teachers.
Optimism
I firmly believe in the power of optimism to navigate life's challenges. It's not just about wishful thinking but about approaching obstacles with the firm belief that solutions exist. When faced with daunting tasks, I envision success and focus on the steps needed to achieve it.
Hard Work
Hard work has been the cornerstone of my journey. I've always believed that success is earned through dedication and perseverance. While talent may play a role, it's the hours of effort and commitment that truly make a difference. I embrace the grind, knowing that every ounce of sweat is an investment in my goals.
Constant Learning
My insatiable curiosity fuels a relentless pursuit of knowledge in every aspect of my life. Whether it's through the projects I work in, the conversations I engage in, the books I read, or the podcasts I eagerly listen to, I am constantly seeking to expand my horizons.
Here are some random facts about me.
Get to know me.
Considering college majors, political science was my second choice. Convinced of my knack for debate, I envisioned myself as the James Bond of politics.
I kickstart my day with a pre-sunrise pre-work gym session. Who needs coffee when you can have endorphins?
For me, sculpting diets is just another thing I do with the engineer hat. I hate the uncertainty of not knowing if I'm fueling my body right for my current goal.
I love hearing podcasts, who needs silence when you can tune in to wisdom and wit? My favorite ones (currently) are Itnig and The All-In Podcast.
I find immense joy in delving into inspiring books that fuel my personal growth journey, interspersed with occasional forays into the enchanting realms of fiction.
If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would undoubtedly be eggs. High quality fats, proteins, vitamins...eggs have it all!
