About

Just graduated from the BSc in Data Science & Engineering at UC3M in Madrid, where I discovered my passion for Deep Learning, a field where every single day brings new challenges, solutions, and opportunities to learn something new.

During my time as a student, I have also accumulated relevant professional experience in the field. I have worked as a junior MLE at Multiverse Computing, a world-leading company in model compression, where I contributed to the compression of multi-billion LLMs and multimodal models.

Despite having the chance to jump straight into the industry, my drive to keep learning — and to truly understand these models rather than only use them — won out. Instead of building on top of what I already knew, I have chosen to pursue an MSc in Machine Learning and return to research in Deep Learning: to deepen my theoretical foundations, sharpen my research experience, and work at the frontier where these ideas are shaped, not only where they are applied.
