About me

I'm a Telecommunications Engineer who enjoys building simple, reliable systems that connect people and places. I'm curious about wireless networks and where applied AI genuinely improves the experience.

I completed an MSc in Advanced Telecommunications Technologies (UPC) in 2025. I care about open-source, community networks, and making connectivity more accessible. Day to day I prototype in Python, explore signals, and ship pragmatic end-to-end solutions.

Outside of technology, my passions include photography, traveling, and endurance sports. I've completed several half marathons and am currently training for a marathon and an Ironman 70.3 in late spring 2026—experiences that strengthen discipline and long-term thinking.
