Changelog of Me

A 20-year life as an append-only log. Film → eLearning → innovation → AI. Six aborted degrees. Working since fourteen.

The newsletter argues that the senior work of the agentic era is orchestration — of agents, teams, and selves — and that learning it requires publishing the numbers. This page is my own numbers, retrospectively: the entire path that led here, rendered as the kind of log I now keep on everything else. One honest line per stop.

Note from Adrian. Specific years and descriptions below are placeholders marked with [____] until I fill them in. Some stops I will sharpen; some I will leave deliberately vague. Real numbers replace placeholders before this page goes public on 2026-05-04.

The path, so far

  1. [____] (age 14)

    Started working.

    Not a metaphor. Actual paid work, doing [____]. Nobody asked me if I felt ready. In retrospect this was the start of a twenty-year habit of jumping before the ground was confirmed to be there.

  2. [____] (age 16)

    Officially in the workforce.

    The legal version of what I was already doing. Same work, less paperwork risk.

  3. [____]

    Finished bachillerato.

    The last credential I have formally earned. This sentence remains true in 2026.

  4. [____]

    Started — and did not finish — a degree in law.

    [____] — something I extracted before I left. I do not regret leaving.

  5. [____]

    Started — and did not finish — a degree in psychology.

    [____] — what it gave me before I stopped.

  6. [____]

    Started — and did not finish — a degree in history.

    [____]

  7. [____]

    Started — and did not finish — a degree in PPE (politics, philosophy, and economics).

    [____]

  8. [____]

    Started — and did not finish — a degree in data science.

    [____] — the degree that came closest to the work I do now. Still did not finish.

  9. [____]

    Started — and did not finish — a degree in filmmaking.

    [____] — this one I did not finish because I went into the actual industry instead, which also counts as an extraction.

  10. [____]

    Worked in the film industry.

    Specifically [____]. Learned project orchestration at a scale most software jobs never teach — a film set is seventy people, no retries, and a hard deadline nobody can negotiate.

  11. [____]

    Pivoted into eLearning.

    [____]. The thing I learned here: how to design systems that teach humans things the humans did not know they needed to learn. Turned out to be transferable.

  12. [____]

    Pivoted into innovation and AI.

    [____]. The pattern visible in retrospect: each pivot borrowed the capabilities the last one forced. Film taught me to orchestrate humans. eLearning taught me to design systems. Innovation-and-AI asks me to do both at a scale where the humans are now also agents.

  13. [____]

    Head of AI and Innovation at Zartis. Barcelona.

    The current stop. Still no degree. Still nobody asking for one. The role the industry needed was one where the answer to "how do you learn this?" is "by doing it for twenty years and reading everything," which turns out to be the only path that scales in a field that changes every six weeks.

  14. 2026

    Became a father.

    The largest orchestration problem I have been handed. Time is now legibly scarce. Every badly-orchestrated hour costs something with a name.

  15. 2026

    Started Raising Agents.

    A biweekly field log. The newsletter argues that orchestration is the new senior work and that the only honest way to learn it is to publish the numbers. This page is part of that argument.

  16. To be continued

    Whatever happens next.

    New entries append here as the newsletter ships. This log does not close. Neither, so far, does the path.

On the word "impostor"

Readers sometimes assume this path is the story of an impostor. It is not. An impostor presents competence they do not have. I have competence and lack the paperwork. Those are different things, and the second is more interesting than the first.

The six degrees I started were not indecision. They were extractions — I took what I needed from each field and moved on before the certificate caught up. The pattern is visible now: I have been, for twenty years, orchestrating my own becoming without institutional permission. The newsletter is the first time I have published the log of it.
