About Me

Right after graduating in Computer Science, I started my career at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, where I conducted research on NoSQL databases and distributed analytics, working closely with partners in European projects and companies such as Intel.

In parallel, I earned a Master's in Computer Engineering and Mathematics, deepening my expertise in distributed systems, and made contributions to the field of approximate streaming analytics with Alluxio and Apache Spark.

In 2020, a month before the pandemic, I co-founded Qbeast Analytics (VC-backed) and led a tech team of 10 engineers developing high-performance, distributed data systems, and collaborated with great people and industry key players such as Databricks, AWS, and Google Cloud.

As an MBA graduate from the Quantic School of Business and Technology, I bring a combination of technical and business knowledge. I have also been a speaker at AI & Big Data Expo London, Barcelona Spark Meetup, and IEEE Big Data Conference, among others.
