Hey, I'm Pablo Bello đź‘‹

Software Engineer & AI Student

About Me

From A Coruña, Spain 🇪🇸, now based in Boston, USA 🇺🇸. I'm a Master's in AI student at Boston University (merit scholarship), with a builder's mentality.

My journey into software began at 16, building bots to acquire limited-edition items (sneakers, tickets, collectibles...), a side project that grew into a 4-year freelance business. That early experience shaped how I approach building: fast execution, reliability, and attention to detail.

Today, alongside my studies, I'm a founding engineer at Blai, building an AI-powered crypto advisor app, from the multi-agent intelligence system to the mobile experience. My goal is to combine my academic training in AI with a practical builder's mentality to create software that is both intelligent and genuinely delightful to use.
