Gabriel’s Purpose
2025 is the year I am defining my purpose for my whole life.
I believe life is a mystery — not one that must be solved, but one that must be lived.
The search for purpose is something I’ve asked myself for years. It’s a universal question: why were we brought here? There’s a quiet emptiness in the reality we inhabit, and from that space arises the need to find a purpose — something we can truly devote ourselves to, something that can guide us through our journey.
“To be a creator, and help others to be creators.”
What makes this purpose so great is that it can only be embodied in the present moment. My purpose doesn’t exist in some distant future; it’s not a goal to reach.
Whenever I create, I am a creator — and at that moment, I fulfill my purpose.
Whenever I create something that inspires others to create, I amplify it — I build the possibility of creation itself.
The beautiful thing is that by following the path of the creator, I might end up building incredible things in the future. But the focus must always stay here — in what I’m doing right now. Whether I’m writing a line of code or building something with my hands, the same spiritual energy flows through the act of creation.
My purpose is deeply tied to my passion — I love to build things. Since childhood, my brother and I spent countless hours with LEGO sets, experimenting, imagining, constructing worlds out of nothing.
I wasn’t the stereotypical “child prodigy” who built a bike at age five — that came much later.
During the pandemic, we shifted from physical projects to digital ones. We built a platform where people could buy and sell secondhand clothing — a reflection of the vintage trend my brother loved. We built it on WordPress, recruited sellers, and ran the whole thing ourselves. But after a while, I realized that fashion wasn’t my path — I needed something that aligned more with my essence.
In high school, we built an electric car from scratch. That project ignited my passion for mechanics and creation. It changed my life, and the lives of my friends too. One day I’ll write an entire post about it — it deserves its own story.
The year after that, I built a go-kart and, with my brother, a guitar. I still remember walking into the workshop, seeing my brother machining the guitar parts on the CNC, while I was assembling the chassis of my car on the other side of the room. At the end of each day, my hands were covered in dust and grease — it became part of who I was.
People knew me as the one who built things with his own hands. That identity shaped me.
I still don’t know how I managed to accomplish so much back then. I think the creative energy within my brother and me was so strong that nothing could stop us from creating.
That power resulted in the creation of Autentio, the startup we officially founded in February 2024. It was the moment when our love for machines met our passion for entrepreneurship and technology. Building a company from scratch was — and still is — the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Books can guide you, but the reality of building something real is incomparable.
Founding a startup became part of my identity as a creator — a way to materialize visions and invite others to join in. I learned to pour my whole soul into the products we build.
Now it’s not about my name on what we make — it’s about the collective creation.
Each invention becomes an Autentio creation, a value machine that scales through innovation, fueled by the spirit of everyone involved.
I’ve come to realize that my best work always comes from the need to express myself — creation as both an artistic and spiritual journey. The more authentic the energy I put into what I build, the more alive it becomes.
