Pablo Pazos
Computer Science student at USC
CTO & Co-founder at OSIX Tech
Balancing my role as CTO of a growing startup with my Computer Engineering studies. This dual path sharpens both my academic foundation and my real-world leadership experience.
Passionate about software architecture, I enjoy understanding the full spectrum of technologies without locking myself into a single specialization. This broad vision allows me to design systems that are flexible, scalable, and future-proof.
Specialized in applying and integrating AI across workflows, I focus on solving real problems and evaluating solutions with a pragmatic, impact-driven mindset. My strength lies in turning complex challenges into clear, actionable architectures.

Versatility
The ability to adapt across technologies and choose the right tool for each problem.
As a software architect, I believe specialization is limiting.
Technology is a tool, not an identity. The moment you define yourself by a specific language or framework, you start making biased architectural decisions. A Python expert might force Python solutions where JavaScript would be better, simply because that's their comfort zone.
Today, with AI as my amplifier, the gap between knowing a technology and being an expert has practically disappeared. I can architect solutions in any language, leverage any framework, and implement using any paradigm because AI handles the syntax while I focus on the system design.
What matters is understanding patterns, principles, and trade-offs. The rest is just implementation details that AI can help with instantly. This approach lets me choose the right tool for each problem, not the tool I'm most familiar with.
Principles
The mindset behind my approach to problem-solving and leadership.
AI as a Multiplier
Leverage AI to accelerate development and eliminate repetitive tasks. Transform hours of coding into minutes of intelligent prompting.
Jack of All Trades
Breadth over depth enables better architecture decisions. Understanding the full stack prevents siloed thinking.
Systems Over Syntax
Prioritize architectural patterns and problem-solving approaches over language-specific knowledge. Design the blueprint, not the bricks.
Rapid Iteration
Ship fast, ship often, improve continuously. Modern tools enable rapid prototyping and testing of ideas.
Pragmatic Innovation
Embrace new technologies when they solve real problems, not for novelty. Every tool choice should have clear business justification.
Continuous Evolution
Adapt quickly to changing requirements and technologies. What works today might be obsolete tomorrow - build with flexibility in mind.
