Jose studied urban design because of him. Architecture school in Chile first (summa cum laude, perfect final grade), then Berkeley on a fellowship.
At Google he led Cubert, a modular building that got a US patent and a New York Times story. He also worked out how many meals 49 cafes would serve. About 60,000 a day.
He ran real estate at Off The Grid until July 2026: 2 to 30+ locations on a model he built, and deals with Boston Properties, Jamestown, Wilson Meany and Tidewater.
He co-founded Hitmap, which does that ranking for everyone else. Subway runs 3,000+ stores through it and opens one every five days.
In Chile he ran a shared value program with Antofagasta Minerals for 5,000 workers. CNN covered it. He also built a community kitchen from nothing to $4M a year.
His Web3 conservation platform in Patagonia, the first in Latin America, won a Celo Innovation Award. 356 applicants, 65 countries, five winners.
He won the Berkeley Founders Program pitch against 100+ startups, went through SkyDeck, and taught Alternative Urban Futures at San Francisco State.
