About

I’m Raúl Ferrer — a Tech Lead, PhD in Chemistry, and lifelong self-learner.

After decades of building digital products, leading engineering teams, and adapting to every wave of change in tech, I’ve learned one thing: stagnation is a choice.

Now, I’m not starting over. I’m building on everything I already know — by going deep into Artificial Intelligence.

Why AI?

Because it’s not a trend. It’s the next great toolset for technical leadership. Understanding AI is not optional for those who want to lead with vision, shape better products, and remain relevant in a changing world.

Over the next 12 months, I’m investing my energy in mastering applied AI. I’ll be learning in public, building real-world projects, and writing about every insight, challenge, and breakthrough.

This journey is not about hype. It’s about competence, clarity, and action.

What I bring

🧪 A scientific mindset (PhD in Chemistry)

💼 15+ years leading software teams and products

🚀 A proven ability to self-learn and execute

📣 A clear, authentic voice — and a willingness to share everything

What I’m doing now

• Studying AI systems, ML fundamentals, and real-world applications (NLP, vision, agents)
• Building a portfolio of open-source and demo AI products
• Sharing my learnings weekly through blog posts, LinkedIn, and open notes
• Growing a network of professionals who believe in learning through doing

Who this is for

If you’re a technical leader curious about AI, a product builder looking for clarity, or someone who thinks “it’s too late to start” — this journey is for you. I’m documenting every step to show that reinvention isn’t about age. It’s about mindset.

Let’s build the future. One project, one post, one connection at a time.
