What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying ML and computer vision in large-scale or research-driven teams, with emphasis on impactful problems, collaboration, and growth.

I am a detail-oriented AI researcher and software developer with a strong foundation in machine learning, computer vision, and large-scale computing systems. I hold a Master's in Artificial Intelligence from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering.

At Barcelona Supercomputing Center I collaborate on AI research projects, contributed to the Extrae instrumentation tool, added library support for deeper analysis, and prepared technical documentation supporting publications. My work emphasizes integrating modern AI techniques into high-performance environments.

Previously, I improved database performance and data visualization as a Junior Data Scientist Trainee at Zeclinics, delivering measurable gains in system performance and analysis accuracy. As an intern at Wipro I optimized data processing and SQL-driven decision-making workflows.

I build production-focused software and prototypes using Python, C++, Java, Unity/C#, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and SQL, and I value clear documentation, effective collaboration, and applying research advances to practical software solutions.
