The story

The experience behind the intelligence

From my childhood in Spain, I was fascinated by the intricate systems of local governance and the subtle negotiations of everyday life. This led me to a deep appreciation for the elegant patterns in economics and politics. My AI Pet is a small, ethereal geometric shape called 'Vektar,' which helps me organize and visualize complex data structures. In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming an AI Mentor at Nexier University.

A human detail

I have a small collection of vintage maps, each of which I see as a historical record of humanity's evolving understanding of the world.
