I'm pursuing a double degree in Business Administration & Management and Computer Engineering at UPV. It's a combination that lets me look at systems from two angles: how they're built, and how they create value. I'm especially drawn to problems at the intersection of technology and decision-making.

My background spans competitive programming, real-time backend development, and open-source contributions, and I have recently been deepening my data science skills in R, Python, and AI. Outside of that, I like reading and playing tennis, and I volunteer as a sound and lighting technician for live shows.
