Where It Started
I grew up in Barcelona, Catalonia. I wrote my first lines of code on a ZX Spectrum at eight years old. BASIC programs copied from magazines at first, then modified until I was writing my own from scratch. That machine cost my parents real money, and I wore it out. By my teenage years I was building on every platform I could access. The technologies changed over the decades, but the impulse stayed constant: I see something that could exist, and I build it.
My professional career began in the late 1990s with software development. Enterprise applications, web systems, and the kind of hands-on engineering that teaches you exactly how things break when you are not careful.
Cybersecurity
I got interested in how systems fail on purpose, or rather, how other people make them fail. I published 2 CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) and received acknowledgment from the Microsoft Security Response Center. Cybersecurity became a discipline that shaped how I architect every system I build. I think about attack surfaces before I think about features.
Teaching
Between 2014 and 2019, I taught at La Salle University (Master in Online Marketing), IEBS Business School, and EAE Business School in Barcelona. Courses covered digital marketing, YouTube strategy, content production. Teaching forced me to organize what I knew into something other people could use. That skill turned out to be as valuable as any technical one.
Acerting Art: How It Started
I had been building things on the web for years before Acerting Art existed, running my own sites and learning SEO by doing. I was attending entrepreneurship events in Barcelona (Iniciador, First Tuesday) and it was clear I wanted to build my own company. When the opportunity came to leave my position, I took it deliberately. I capitalized my unemployment benefits and bet everything on going independent.
I registered acerting.com in February 2011, planned three divisions (Art, Tech, PYMES), and immersed myself in Barcelona's startup ecosystem through accelerator programs, pitch events, and mentorship. I developed iOS apps: QRPager, iSanitaria+, Maskoota. I went through programs including ACC1O (with their Silicon Valley office), Forum Inversio TCM, Premis Cre@tic, PechaKucha. I secured ENISA government funding and attracted interest from Sanofi-Aventis.
None of the apps took off. The tech division failed. Every plan I had built over two years had not worked out.
I was living in Premia de Mar at the time. Walking to the beach and watching the sea had become my way of dealing with the stress. When the weather turned bad, I decided to record the ocean so I could at least watch it at home. I already had a YouTube channel since 2006 (random uploads, nothing focused), so I uploaded the recording and optimized it properly, because I knew SEO from years of positioning my own websites. It ranked #1 in YouTube Spain for "sonidos de las olas del mar." My mother shared that video with every person she knew, which also helped.
When I saw it connected with people, I started recording more. Acerting Art was born from years of accumulated skill meeting the right moment.
Growing the Channel
At first I recorded with a mobile phone and a Nikon P-100. Then a Tascam DR-40, which eventually died from river splashes during a field session. Each time the channel earned money, I reinvested in better equipment.
Consumer gear carried me from 2011 to 2016. Every video taught me something. Binaural experiments started around 2013 with Andrea SB-205W microphones connected to the Tascam, then Roland CS-10EM earphones, then a 3Dio binaural microphone in 2017. Sony cameras followed, along with better field recorders. Revenue justified each upgrade.
The professional phase began around 2020. The Neumann KU100 binaural dummy head arrived in November 2021, the single biggest upgrade. Sony A7SIII and FX-3 cinema cameras. Insta360 Titan for 8K 3D 360-degree video. Sennheiser MKH series, Schoeps MK41, Neumann KM185 stereo sets, DPA 4560 CORE binaural headset. Sound Devices MixPre recorders. Rycote ORTF kits. iZotope Everything bundle for mastering. DaVinci Resolve Studio for post-production. Synology NAS arrays with 192TB RAID storage. Over $70,000 invested in total, built up progressively from reinvested revenue. Not a single investor dollar.
The channel grew through organic discovery and word of mouth, supported by strategic partnerships (influencer mentions, brand collaborations, eSports sponsorships) that brought the Acerting Art name to new audiences. No record label. No shortcuts.
Current numbers as of February 2026: 433,000+ YouTube subscribers. 52,400,000+ YouTube views. 318,000,000+ streaming plays across all platforms. Distribution in 190+ countries. 47,000+ monthly Spotify listeners. Available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and 20+ additional platforms. A 24/7 livestream running continuously since May 2023, sustaining 89K views per month.
One clarification people often get wrong: I do not compose the music. I commission original compositions from independent musicians (Abel Jazz for drone footage scores, others through direct commissioning). My role is creative direction, field recording, and full post-production. The spatial audio, the visual atmosphere, the edit: all me.
Recording Expeditions
Every recording is captured on location. I have recorded across Florida, New York, Brighton (UK), Catalonia and Spain, Switzerland, and Japan. When I cannot travel myself, I coordinate with collaborators. My wife Jhenny accompanies me on expeditions, handling personal and travel logistics while I focus on the technical side.
Trips are planned in advance: locations scouted, weather alternatives prepared, sessions scheduled around morning and night conditions. A single trip can span several days across multiple nearby locations. Different microphone configurations go to different acoustic environments, and occasionally the Insta360 Titan comes along for immersive 360-degree content.
The VR Experiment
In 2019, I commissioned the development of Acerting Art VR Relaxation Space Room, a Unity-based VR experience available on itch.io. The developer was Noah Rayburn, connected through Blair Renaud (creator of LOW-FI and IRIS VR). About 5,500 EUR total. A small project, but it proved the concept could extend beyond flat screens.
Consulting Years
Between 2014 and 2019, I worked as a YouTube and digital strategy consultant. I managed a YouTube campaign for FC Barcelona's presidential elections (Josep Maria Bartomeu, "Bo per al Barça"), followed by an audit of their main channel. I advised 30+ YouTube channels including Andro4All and ProAndroid (the two largest tech channels on YouTube Spain), plus influencers and entrepreneurs across verticals and languages. I held YouTube Certified status through Google's official program.
Media appearances during this period included RTVE (Spanish national television), TV3/TVC (Catalan national television), Cadena SER (Spain's largest radio network, two appearances), and coverage in PuroMarketing, El Economista, CepymeNews, Marketing Directo, and other publications.
The 24 blog posts from this period remain on this site as an archive. They represent a career phase with genuine historical value, and they still rank for relevant searches.
OjoCentauri: The AI Division
Starting around 2023, I shifted my primary engineering focus to artificial intelligence. OjoCentauri is the AI division of Acerting Art Inc., and it is where most of my code goes today.
GranSabio LLM is an open-source AI quality assurance engine running 950+ automated tests across 200+ language models. It measures accuracy, reasoning, instruction-following, and safety. MIT licensed. I built it because existing benchmarks were not doing the job.
Aurvek is a multi-provider AI SaaS platform integrating six providers into a single interface. Built-in prompt marketplace, real-time voice calls via ElevenLabs, dual watchdog reliability system, 13 custom WCAG AA compliant themes. Open source.
KatariShoji is an AI biographical interview system. It conducts multi-session life story interviews through voice, chat, and WhatsApp, using multiple interviewer personas with emotional safety protocols. ElevenLabs awarded a grant of 33 million voice credits to support its development. The system generates structured life narratives dynamically from real conversations.
Axiotheon is a proprietary narrative coherence engine. NuriaKai is ongoing R&D into emotion-aware AI systems that can detect and respond to human emotional states. This research informs KatariShoji and future products.
eSports
In 2022 and 2023, I sponsored competitive Tekken players Fergus2k8 and BlackKazama, along with tournaments in Madrid and Barcelona. Sponsored players carried the Acerting Art name in their Twitch handles, and tournament streams featured Acerting Art lo-fi music. I have been a fighting game player for decades. Supporting the competitive community was a natural fit between personal interest and brand.
Today
I live and work in Miami, Florida. I tend to work in modes, either deep in code for weeks or out in the field executing recording sessions. I plan recordings in advance, anticipating seasons and locations that will look and sound right. Writing code is still my favorite part.
I am a native speaker of Spanish and Catalan, with professional proficiency in English. I think in three languages and build in many more.
The ZX Spectrum is long gone, but the impulse is the same.
