About
I'm Gonzalo.
Engineer by training. Builder by obsession. Explorer by nature. My calling is to expand the experience of peace.

I'm a Civil Biochemical Engineer from Valparaíso, Chile, with a Master's in Industrial Engineering from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. But titles don't tell you much about a person. What might is this:
I've spent the last 15+ years building things that didn't exist before. At Nutrartis, I co-created Cardiosmile — a natural phytosterol product for heart health — and took it from a lab idea to two international patents, four clinical studies, and sales across three continents. I served as CEO for seven years, then shifted to a strategic role to make room for what was coming next.
What came next was Happinetics — a relationship analysis engine I co-founded in 2025. It maps the invisible patterns driving your closest relationships and generates personalized interventions to create measurable change. It's the project that best represents where my head and heart are right now: at the intersection of rigorous methodology and deep human understanding.
In parallel, I've pursued years of training in energy-based healing, meditation, and presence-based leadership. I'm a trained Pranic Healing practitioner, a Samatha meditation practitioner, and I facilitate individual and group processes focused on emotional intelligence and inner development. Some people find this combination surprising — an engineer who does energy work. I find it completely natural. Both disciplines are about understanding systems. One external, one internal.
I grew up between Chile and the United States — Italian school in Valparaíso, high school in Houston, Texas, and stints in Denver and Savannah along the way. I speak Spanish and English fluently, plus Italian and Portuguese at varying levels of "I can probably order dinner." My interests outside of work include being a father, music, movement, and cooking.
My philosophy is simple: I believe in the possibility of higher levels of functioning and experience through personal and spiritual development. Not as an escape from the practical world, but as a foundation for engaging with it more fully.
