Graduate in Data Science and Engineering from the Universidade da Coruña, passionate about turning data into strategic decisions, with a special interest in the sports and entertainment industries.

My academic background and hands-on experience allow me to confidently navigate the entire data lifecycle, from data collection and processing to advanced analytics and visualization—all supported by a solid foundation in mathematics, statistics, and programming.

I am currently furthering my specialization with a Master’s in Statistical Techniques (UDC), focusing on advanced statistical modeling and data analysis.

I really enjoy teamwork, solving complex problems that deliver real impact, and communicating what the data reveals with clarity.

Outside the tech world, I have been competing in track and field since I was seven—a discipline that not only helps me disconnect, but also teaches me to approach every challenge with dedication and consistency, and to keep performing under pressure.
