Launching EpsilonForge

My background in applied mathematics

For many years, I’ve wanted to launch a project like EpsilonForge—a software development studio, R&D lab, and consultancy. Right now feels like the right moment.

Over the years, I’ve worked as an applied mathematician, constantly exploring which applications to pursue and what kind of mathematics to focus on.

I’ve been an industry intern, participated in technology transfer projects from academia to government agencies, completed a PhD, worked as a post-doc, and served as a full-time researcher. It’s fair to say I’ve gained a solid understanding of what mathematical R&D is about across different environments.

However, I came to realize that spending most of my time in academia rather than in a company with actual customers has its limitations.

In academia, it’s challenging to establish an agenda that goes beyond proof-of-concept work. While early-stage ideation is often significant, industry’s pivotal advancements propel progress and fortify fundamental research—which arguably makes it a more interesting place to be in many ways.

For these reasons, I felt the need to seek a different work environment, one where I can leverage both mathematical skills and software development craftsmanship.

Specialization and trade: software and R&D services

By launching EpsilonForge, I aim to provide specialized services and customized mathematical software to the global marketplace.

One of my inspirations comes from a seemingly simple yet profound idea: specialization and trade have been driving forces of human progress for centuries. In present times, thanks to modern information technologies, there’s room for more specialization and trade than ever before.

Beyond the trends of remote work and the global gig economy, I hope to remain connected with talented people bringing fresh ideas to the field.

For that reason, I’ll make time to participate in joint R&D projects with my alma mater institutions: the University of Buenos Aires and the CONICET research agency.

I envision Epsilon Forge as a bridge between global industry and local researchers and students, providing both funding and motivation to explore promising research areas.

If any of this resonates with you and you’re curious about what’s next, stay tuned. I’ll periodically share updates—about the services I offer, topics I’m exploring beyond client work, joint projects with academic partners, and discussions on industry trends.
