About
Hello, I’m Andre—innovator, builder, and relentless problem solver. From hacking apart systems to understand their core functions to developing groundbreaking technologies, I’ve been nurturing my passion for technology since I was 14.
Why I started Bytespace?
I want to be part of the first small team running a billion dollar company with AI Agents
I'm a jack of all trades type of guy, with a strength in tech. Have so many business ideas running through my head and naturally wanted to do all of them to see what happens. I decided to build a tool that would let me build one company per day, and setup vitural AI Employees to manage it for me.
Me at 14 coding my first ML project
CareLab - A Recurrent Neural Network helping doctors in Guatemala reduce misdiagnosis cases.
Me at 22 still building cool sh*t
Now building Bytespace
When I was 13 years old, I became a famous Hip Hop Dancer in Guatemala
“Rise Up” that reached 1 Million Views on YouTube.
I loved hip hop and was casting for some videos, I got lucky I guess.
I got together and managed a 70 person team at 13, to produce my own Music Video and song
Darling - my first cringe music video
I got together and managed a 70 person team at 13. I choreographed, wrote the story board, planned the scenes, worked with studios, brand managers, hired Dancers through the local NewsPaper, did castings myself, and way more.
An accident that changed my life, and got me into programming
The turning point in my life, was due to a Skiing accident where I damaged my C6, C7 cervicals and nerves that left me paraplegic for an entire year.
This is the moment I discovered programming. Because I could not use my legs, I picked up a computer and enrolled in a Stanford Machine Learning course. And I had nothing else to do other than coding, physical therapy, and sleep for the next 6 months, since I took a leave from school.
During my therapy sessions, I was fascinated by all the technology they were using on me, and I asked by their software, and hanged out with technicians so that they could teach me how they used the software. So from the course on Machine Learning from Stanford, and the exposure to the medical industry, I was curious enough to see if I could make model for diagnostics based on symptoms and patient record data.
My first public speaking event was a TEDX
Months later, I gained full mobility back, implemented the tech in Pediatric Centers, received a Government Award for innovation, an Intel Award for my Computer Science Skills, and gave a TedX Talk about it.
Optogenetics, Pro Beach Volleyball, and IronMans
I gained back my legs! I could do anything I wanted, and I had one dream in mind, go to the Olympics.
NORCECA Olympic Qualifying Games
Quarter final round against Puerto Rico
During that time, I also spent reseraching the brain and doing optogenetic physics computer-simulations for fun.

Optogenetics Research
UPenn - the college experience
I got into UPenn M&T (a dual degree program) where I chose to study BioEngineering and Finance.
I quickly got bored so started building a new project.
Chrome extension that maps user behavior into a 3D interactive model
Before ChatGPT and RAG existed, I was allowing people to talk to YouTube Videos, Pdfs, and people's knowledge through BERT, GPT-2, and Davinci Model
I built Voice Assistants as well
Users could not only chat, but talk to user behavior knowledge
Bytespace AI
AI Employees that automate websites to do all your work on your behalf
Beyond the tech, I thrive on challenges that push the limits of what's possible.
