23 y/o · Available for opportunities · Madrid

Aerospace Engineering graduate and Industrial Mathematics MSc student with a technical profile and a strong drive for technology-driven business development. I write code, talk to clients, and have a clear opinion on where tech can make a real difference.

I've built web platforms from scratch, optimized GPU-accelerated scientific code, and coordinated innovation programs across countries. I move comfortably between a codebase and a pitch deck, and I'm always looking for the next problem worth solving. Proactive, hands-on, and genuinely curious about how industries work and where technology can create real value.

MWC 2026 · ZTE Corporation (Nubia / Redmagic)

Barcelona

Invited to collaborate at ZTE's mobile division stand (Nubia / Redmagic) at the largest telecom trade fair in the world. The relationship was built entirely through my own network during my time at Xiji Incubator in Shanghai, demonstrating the real business connections I bring from the China ecosystem.

Seed Startup & Launchpad Coordinator · Xiji Incubator

Shanghai

Participated in the Seed Program developing and validating a business model in an open-innovation environment alongside founders and mentors. Visited tech parks and innovation hubs across Shanghai and Beijing throughout the incubation period. Then became the sole coordinator for the China Launchpad, a 10-day immersion program bringing Spanish startups into the Chinese tech ecosystem. Managed end-to-end logistics, agendas, and facilitated meetings with investors and government stakeholders. Direct reporting to Director and Chairman.

Educational Innovation Project · UPM

Python, APIs

Educational Innovation Project aimed at enhancing autonomous engineering learning through gamified Telegram activities. Developed the full backend in Python, integrated REST APIs, deployed serverless algorithm execution, and built data processing pipelines. Collaboration with faculty from the Department of Aircraft and Space Vehicles.

May 2023 – Jun 2025

GPU Research Fellowship + Thesis · CCS, UPM

CUDA, HPC

Research fellowship at the Center for Computational Simulation developing and optimizing parallel computing strategies for matrix and vector operations on GPU. The bachelor's thesis extended this work with a novel formulation for solving PDEs using spectral methods. The entire project is open-source on GitHub with step-by-step reproducible benchmarks. Tools: Python, Fortran, MATLAB, C, CUDA, Julia.

Leadership

Led student innovation visits to technology companies and research centers including ESA, Google, and Iberia. Organized end-to-end logistics, coordinated with host organizations, and facilitated networking between students and industry leaders. Focus on promoting entrepreneurship and emerging technologies within the university.

FEATURED

AppLinkers

Web platform built from scratch for university communities with a combined reach of 200,000+ followers. Started as a social matching app with a custom vectorized compatibility algorithm (NumPy) that crosses user answers with intelligent filters (exclusive, reciprocal, bonus), and has evolved into a full university toolkit: apartment and roommate search with compatibility-based matching, permanent profile-building tests, and community event management.

Full admin panel with event management, user diagnostics, match analytics, and system logs. Designed a relational data model with multi-tenancy, reusable question hierarchies, and match traceability. All business processes documented in BPMN 2.0, plus a technical manual in LaTeX and a custom operations CLI for backups, environment sync, and deployment.

Parallel Processing Techniques

Research on GPU parallel computing strategies for matrix and vector operations. Benchmarking and performance tuning of scientific computations across multiple languages. The bachelor's thesis extended this with a novel PDE formulation using spectral methods. Built so that any reader can reproduce every benchmark on their own machine with step-by-step instructions.
