Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Montes is a founder and research-driven principal with 14 years at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and agentic AI, leading Neural Axis to design cognitive security, steerability, and trust frameworks for human–AI systems. He combines hands-on LLM and agent development, red‑teaming, prompt/agent engineering, and product strategy with deep academic roots—a PhD in neuroscience and postdoc experience translating VR and neurotech into applied products. Gabriel has a track record of scaling teams and organizations (SingularityNET growth, People Ops) while raising >$450K in non-dilutive funding and delivering rapid interdisciplinary prototypes across XR, robotics, and healthcare. He also contributes code and integrations in open-source ecosystems—e.g., full‑stack work on Spring Social Google including Drive API support—bridging engineering rigor with cognitive science. Known for convening sold‑out international workshops and designing “Teal”-inspired organizational practices, he blends systems thinking with practical execution. His uncommon combination of neurobiology, product leadership, and hands-on AI engineering makes him fluent in both human cognition and machine behavior design.
