01 — who I am

First principles.
Always.

I'm a 6th semester Computer Science undergraduate at Tecnológico de Monterrey. My degree is software engineering in practice — but I am a mathematician at heart, building toward that identity deliberately.

I study mathematical logic, theory of computation, and the formal foundations of artificial intelligence. Not because they appear on a syllabus — but because they reveal something real about the nature of thought itself.

I'm applying to European masters programs in logic and theoretical CS. MSc is my north star.

Enderton — A Mathematical Introduction to Logic

§2.4 — Structures and truth in first-order logic.

Working on

Deontic Logic & Agent Constraints

Formalizing ethical constraints in Standard Deontic Logic. Three theorems: consistency, completeness, lattice structure.

Studying with

Dr. Oliart — Weekly Seminars

Logic, number theory, set theory. SNI researcher, retired logician, invaluable mentor.

Exchange semester before masters applications in October.

02 — beyond academia

The Writer

Writing is a large part of who I am — essays, fiction, poetry. I think through writing. I understand through writing. Some thoughts only become clear when they're on a page.

Reading List

Fiction that thinks. Nonfiction that unsettles.

  • Frankenstein — Mary Shelley
  • The Secret History — Donna Tartt
  • Babel — R.F. Kuang
  • Cosmos — Carl Sagan

Romanticism & Gothic

Wordsworth, Keats, Mary Shelley. The Romantic poets understood something about the sublime that modern thought has mostly forgotten. I return to them constantly.

The Discipline

Daily gym. Intentional eating. Consistent sleep. I treat my body the same way I treat a proof — with care, structure, and respect for the process. Clear head, clear thought.

Philosophy of Mathematics

I lean Platonist. Mathematical objects feel discovered, not invented. Gödel believed this too. The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in physics is hard to explain otherwise.

What drives me

The question I keep returning to: can machines be kind? Not just capable — kind. That question is what turned me from an engineer into a mathematician. It still keeps me going.

03 — trajectory
2022

Data Science Intern — Hospital Farallon

First professional experience. SQL, Python pipelines, cohort analytics. The beginning.

2024

Theory of Computation changes everything

The semester I stopped seeing CS as code and started seeing it as the study of thought. Turing speaks. Everything shifts.

2025

AI & Software Engineer Intern — EngineCX

Built BRAIN from first principles. First formal paper. First production AI system. Full autonomy, full responsibility.

2025 — ongoing

Schola Arcana begins

Self-directed curriculum in mathematical logic, TOC, linear algebra, and quantum computing. Weekly sessions with Dr. Oliart. The cathedral under construction.

2026

Team Lead Intern — Internship

Leading development of three AI agents for insurance. Deontic logic paper in progress. Masters applications in October.

Sep 2026

Exchange — Geneva, Switzerland

Scouting European academic culture. Meeting researchers. Finalizing applications.

2027 — horizon

MSc Mathematics - Logic - Theory of Computation

The north star. Mathematical logic, proof theory, dynamic epistemic logic. The place this entire trajectory points toward.
