Javier studied Mechanical Engineering at Duke University. Born in Madrid, Spain, he was granted his first patent at age 15 and started his work experience at a robotics company in Tokyo, Japan. He later worked at Tesla his sophomore year, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering during the critical 2018 production ramp-up phase for the Model 3, as well as in a team developing in-house autonomous vehicles to move car components in factory floors. The experience led him to Uber ATG the following year, bridging the systems & hardware engineering teams responsible for Uber’s self-driving technical artifact framework. Javier then started a project with Uber Elevate during his senior year at Duke, designing autonomous pushback vehicles to tow eVTOLs in vertiport surfaces, revealing a critical technology enabling the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market to flourish. Soon thereafter he decided to start Moonware, realizing the potential it has to transform mobility in all aviation-related sectors.
