I solve problems with technology, data and AI. An aerospace engineer by training, a data leader by trade, and a builder by habit.
Over eleven years in aviation, health tech and legal tech, I’ve built data teams from scratch, shipped apps people use, and lately put AI agents to work. Today I lead Engineering & Maintenance data at British Airways, and I’m open to projects on the side.
Open to new projects · Based in London
Side projects I build to learn by doing. Both are live.
A research team that never sleeps.
Seven Claude agents that read airline filings and turned them into more than 1,600 sourced, audited figures, with a mission-control panel tracking every run and what it cost.

London's club nights, and who's going.
A no-sign-up companion for London club nights: a chat room for every club, a city-wide board of who’s going where, and private messages. Designed for 4am, on a phone, in the dark.

Problems rarely arrive labelled “data” or “AI”. They arrive as something slow, manual or unclear. Because I work across all of it, I can pick the simplest fix and build it myself.
Pipelines, warehouses and models that turn data scattered across tools into one source of truth people trust.
Dashboards, internal apps and interfaces shaped around how your team really works.
Agents that research, extract, report and automate, with checks built in so you can trust what they hand back.
Strategy, KPIs, hiring and ways of working. I’ve built one from zero twice, at venture-backed startups.
From planning airline routes to leading data teams, at British Airways and at venture-backed startups, hands-on throughout.

“Pablo goes above and beyond constantly. I have never seen someone so dedicated, especially in the face of so many competing priorities. He acts with professionalism and dignity while under considerable pressure, and finds ways to help even when there are seemingly not enough hours in the day to do so. And he always acts with kindness, caring so much about the work and the relationships he is building across the business. We need more people like Pablo.”
“All we can do at the data team is thanks to his leadership, composure and incredible work ethic. Pablo is the most hands-on lead I’ve seen in my career. He is on top of details and can manage to keep a coherent data strategy under enormous pressure that would make anybody else cut corners. On top of that he is managing to do this without losing his human side, his smile and his empathy.”
Tell me what’s slow, manual or unclear, and what “fixed” would look like. You don’t need to know whether it’s a data, software or AI problem; working that out is part of the job.
