about me

I'm a senior at NYU Abu Dhabi reading Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and the founder of Twynable, an AI-powered facilities management platform built on digital twin technology.

My work sits where construction informatics, computer vision and applied machine learning meet. On one side that is research: forecasting indoor environmental quality, multi-camera perception at the edge, 3D Gaussian splatting of real spaces. On the other it is building Twynable and putting it into a working building rather than a demo.

Originally from Cali, Colombia. Based in Abu Dhabi, graduating May 2027.
