About
I teach Web3 and AI in Spanish because most people never get a fair chance to understand it properly. Not because they lack intelligence — but because the best documentation, tools, and conversations still happen in English.
My name is Gilberts Ahumada. I was born and raised in Chile, and I'm currently living in Forest City, Malaysia as part of Network School — an experimental residential community founded by Balaji Srinivasan that brings together technologists, founders, and builders focused on crypto, AI, and decentralized systems.
I've always loved creating. That instinct led me to software engineering, and eventually to founding my first startup. Building companies — much like relationships — has a way of putting your fears, limits, and blind spots right in front of you. The only real option is to look honestly and grow.
After working several years in Web2, I discovered Web3 in 2020. The mix of cryptography, distributed systems, economics, and incentives pulled me in completely — and I've been building in this space ever since. More recently, AI has become a core part of my work, combining it with blockchain to build autonomous agent infrastructure.
In 2021, I joined the Chainlink Developer Experts program, where I remain active today. That experience made something clear to me: I genuinely enjoy teaching complex systems in a way that makes sense.
Fear played a big role along the way — fear of rejection, fear of being seen, fear of speaking publicly. Walking through that fear is part of the work. That's how I ended up creating a YouTube channel in Spanish, where I test new technologies, build real examples, and explain how things actually work.
Many developers in Latin America struggle to learn new technologies simply because most high-quality resources are only available in English. Translating, contextualizing, and teaching that knowledge is my way of giving back.
Outside of tech, I love traveling, discovering new cultures, and trying food wherever I go. I've been fortunate enough to visit many countries — and even had to fly back to Chile once after an accident in Thailand.
Another part of my story: I used to be obese. At one point, I weighed 150 kg (330 lbs). That experience taught me discipline, patience, and consistency — values that shape how I train, work, and build today. Movement and training are now part of my daily life.
How I teach
- First principles over hype
- Understanding before memorization
- Real code and real systems
- Discipline beats motivation
- Long-term thinking over shortcuts
This site is my home base — a place to share what I learn, build, and teach.
If you're a Spanish-speaking developer trying to truly understand Web3 and AI — not just follow tutorials — you're in the right place.
