Why he is a leader
Recognition from MIT Technology Review is not given away. Its innovators-under-35 list selects a handful of young people from across the region each year, and making it places Costa Rica on a map usually dominated by much larger countries.
Zamora got there with a sensible, almost disciplined idea: before putting artificial intelligence on top of a company, you have to organize its data. His work at Neural Coders starts from that premise and advances in stages, from organizing information to integrating AI agents that solve concrete tasks, such as managing medical appointments or preparing budgets. It is the difference between using AI as decoration and using it as a system.

Cases like Zamora’s change the country’s internal conversation. They show that a young Costa Rican entrepreneur can compete in applied artificial intelligence and be recognized by one of the most respected technology publications in the world. That inspires others to try.
