Experiences
In banking industry I have had the opportunity to test my theoretical skills in real-world situations. During my time in this company, I managed to:
- Apply mathematical methods in assessing risk indicators.
- Develop my team-work capabilities.
- Further enhance my coding skills, and apply them to many different necessities.
- Handle large databases with limited computational resources.
- Improve time and workload management in order to deliver tasks on very tight deadlines .
Participation in the 'CONECTA' campaing, a research project focused in the study of the evolution of little crustaceans grub in the Mediterranean Sea. I have also helped in the developement of simulation models involving the dynamic processes of internal waves over continental slopes.
Working with such unbelievable professionals helped me to understand the importance of being detail-oriented and rigorous with your projects. Furthermore, working in my own project told me how to pull the chestnuts out of the fire by myself in many situations; developing the tough skill of getting things done.
Since I started my Bachelor Degree, I helped High School and Undergraduate students to improve their mathematics and basic physics skills.
This experience forced me to develop outstanding communication skills and the ability to simplify complex concepts in front of public.
I have worked as a waiter during summers and weekends since I was 16 in order to pay tuition fees and other education expenses.
Besides the specific skills demanded by this kind of job (dealing with people in respectous manners, timing control of different processes, multitasking abilites, etc.), this experience is about working for yourself and learning the struggle involved in pursuing your aspirations.

Time ago, I created a videogames-related YouTube channel focused in gathering professional plays in competitive tournaments. I made the whole design and the mountage of videos; I also was responsible of gathering of the clips and the community management. The earnings of this project were my main income for a time.
Working with the audience data of the channel is where I found my love for data analytics.

No longer alive, this project was about my passion of technology and entrepreneurship. In the dawn of this smartphone & tablets fever, I found out how common was to most people to be uninformed about these new tech. Therefore, I started a blog-website where I posted reviews of the most googled devices of that time.
In this brief adventure I learned html, css and working in wordpress environment.

I AM
Educated
I am a hands-on technical type with a mind-on theoretical degree. That means ability to resolve problems and formulate them in precise terms; identify key points and apply different strategies; carry out academic projects independently with the help of bibliographies and databases; ability to communicate orally, writing and using ICTs in a clear and precise way; develop analytical capacity, a correct usage of technical language and the ability to construct logical arguments; the ability to work autonomously with initiative and in an organised manner, to plan and carry out a task or group project, interact with peers and share responsibilities.
A problem assassin
I study a problem, analyzing its weak points before I strike with surgical precision; I see all the angles and use this unique vantage point to come at a problem from a direction it would never expect.
A thought meteorologist
I am always thinking ahead, forecasting potential problems and following developing technological trends.
Data-Driven
I was playing with data and computers while the other kids were still playing with marbles, and I use the stats to help identify and mitigate risks, construct project schedules and prepare status reports.
Focused on team
I find, shape and cultivate teams that don't just swing to the fences, they jack that (metaphorical) baseball beyond the stars; I help to develop the tools and creative atmosphere to shine, but ultimately hold them accountable for making smart calls and delivering value. I've always got my team's back, unfailingly the first to lend a hand, ear, or fist bump; I create and foster partnerships, always open to feedback to force multiply and crush lofty goals as a team.
Coachable
I eagerly listen to constructive feedback, internalize it, and strive to step up my game; I am a human sponge, soaking up new information and expanding to take on new challenges that sometimes lie outsied my comfort tzone.
Passionate and persistent
I embrace new challenges with entrepreneurial enthusiasm; I don't fear failure, considering every misstep an important learning experience.
