About

I’m Carlos Roberto Rodrigo Turner.

I was born when atmospheric CO₂ was 344.92 ppm — it’s about 425 now, which tells you something about the pace of the world I’m trying to make sense of.

Husband to Mar. Father to Lucas and Nico. Friend to Pancho, our Spanish Water Dog, who is smarter than all of us.

What I do

I work with data. Currently at Tecnica y Avance, where I run a department of one, managing customers and suppliers across multiple countries, building tools, and turning messy inputs into decisions people can actually act on.

What I care about

• Data and AI.
• Design and the web.
• Science and space.
• Books.
• Long bike rides.
• Films.
• Raising two small humans.

A few things about me

• The hardest thing I've done is parent two toddlers and a dog at the same time. Nothing else is close.
• What I'm proud of is the life I've built with Mar — the boys, the home, the ordinary days.
• What I changed my mind about recently: that the right way to look at life is as a realist. Not optimist, not pessimist. Just see things as they are, then decide what to do.
• Books that stuck with me this year: Matt Haig's The Midnight Library and The Humans. Both shifted something.
• People I admire, in no particular order and for very different reasons: Feynman (for the range — physics, bongos, lock-picking), Marie Curie (two Nobels in two fields, still unmatched), Carl Sagan (made science feel like wonder), Jane Austen (sharper than anyone gives her credit for), and Elon Musk — though less and less.
