Key accomplishments and honors received throughout my academic and professional journey.
Skymapper.es • 2024
As Co-founder and CPO of Skymapper.es, I had the privilege of attending and being awarded co-winners of the Startup Universe Contest at Advanced Manufacturing Madrid.
This award is a testament to our team's collective effort in innovating and optimizing complex aeronautical and industrial processes. For my career as a pilot, this shared success highlights the importance of effective CRM (Crew Resource Management) and leadership in high-pressure, tech-driven environments. This milestone, achieved alongside my talented co-founders, secured our qualification for the finals where we will fight for a seat at prestigious international forums such as 4YFN Barcelona 2026 and the Madrid South Summit.
ESIC University • 2025
I am proud to share that Skymapper.es was awarded 1st Place in the Santander X | Spain Award (University), a prestigious competition hosted by Santander Universidades and ESIC Business & Marketing School.
This recognition celebrates our team's effort to redefine efficiency and innovation in the tech sector. For me, winning this award alongside my co-founders is more than a business milestone; it is a validation of the rigor, strategic planning, and leadership that I also apply in the cockpit.
42 Madrid • 2024
In my journey to bridge technology and aviation, I faced one of the most demanding coding challenges in the world: the "Piscina" at 42 Madrid (Fundación Telefónica). This intensive month-long immersion tests logic, teamwork, and the ability to learn complex programming languages from scratch in a high-pressure environment.
I am proud to say that I was officially accepted as a student into the program. However, reaching this milestone brought me to a significant crossroad. I made the strategic decision to decline this incredible opportunity to focus 100% on my two main priorities: completing my flight training and leading the growth of Skymapper.es.
This experience was a masterclass in rapid problem-solving and reinforced my belief that while I have the technical aptitude for deep software development, my true "flight path" lies in applying that logic to the cockpit and aeronautical innovation. Since then, I have continued to expand my technical knowledge independently, always through the lens of a pilot.
Ayuntamiento de Boadilla del Monte • 2021
When Storm Filomena paralyzed Madrid in early 2021, I stepped forward once again to support the community. I joined the relief efforts as a specialized worker, focusing on clearing streets and restoring accessibility during the city's worst snowstorm in decades.
Working long hours in extreme cold taught me the value of operational persistence and physical stamina. In aviation, we often face unpredictable environments where quick response and manual labor are required to ensure safety and continuity. This experience reinforced my "can-do" attitude and my readiness to serve whenever the situation demands a proactive leader who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty for the mission.
Mexico City • 2017
Leadership and empathy often stem from the most challenging circumstances. On September 19, 2017, just days after my 14th birthday, Mexico City was struck by a devastating earthquake. Despite my young age, I felt a profound sense of duty to my community and decided to take immediate action.
I spent several weeks as a dedicated volunteer, assisting in relief efforts wherever help was needed. This experience was foundational in developing my emotional intelligence, resilience, and a deep sense of social responsibility. In the aviation world, these traits translate directly into effective leadership and a commitment to the well-being of others, reinforcing my dedication to serving with integrity both in the cockpit and in society.
An international journey from Mexico City to Madrid, shaping my path to the cockpit.
Born and raised, my foundational years were spent here, sparking an early interest in complex systems.
