About
Gespona Tech is a senior-led studio focused on complex systems, applied AI, and execution-driven innovation. We work where software meets hardware, AI meets production, and simulation meets reality.
Gerard is a Barcelona-based engineer, serial CTO, and computer vision developer with 25+ years of experience across software platforms, AI, simulation, interactive 3D, and intelligent devices. He has founded or co-founded five companies and led engineering at startups, scaleups, and global technology companies.
He is currently Simulation Lead (5+ years, via Gespona) at a spatial-AI / edge-camera company — building Unity-based digital twin pipelines, synthetic dataset workflows, ML evaluation tooling, and NVIDIA Isaac Sim integrations. He is the author of the official Unity plugin for that ecosystem.
Previously, he spent 9+ years as Fractional CTO (and earlier, full-time CTPO) at a France-based real-time messaging platform — leading platform architecture, infrastructure, AI integration, and engineering. Headline outcome: ~30% AWS cost reduction through architecture-driven optimisation.
Outside client work, Gerard built a life-size InMoov humanoid robot in his garage, created Synth Reality Labs, and entered the OpenCV AI Contest 2023 with a pancreatic-tumor segmentation project in collaboration with a European research university.
Reference engagements
Two multi-year partnerships transitioned through Gespona — maintaining senior ownership across an employment-to-studio handover.
Running since 2016, moved from full-time CTPO to Fractional CTO via Gespona without continuity loss. Full CTPO scope: architecture, SOC-2 readiness, enterprise RFPs, customer AI agents (voice + WhatsApp), engineering leadership.
Simulation Lead since 2021. Unity digital twins, synthetic data pipelines, ML evaluation, Unity plugin authorship, NVIDIA Isaac Sim integrations.
