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 automation systems to acquire exclusive items. That early experience was my true introduction to software, sparking a passion for turning ideas into reality through code and building solutions to complex problems.

Today, I channel that passion into an obsession with quality and detail. Alongside my studies, I’m currently building an AI-powered crypto app as part of an early startup team. 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.
