About Me

I am a Software Engineer based in Barcelona, currently contributing to core insurance systems at Occident across COBOL, SQL, IBM Db2, C#, and .NET environments. With a strong academic foundation from La Salle URL, I bridge systems programming in C and Rust with modern product engineering.

My strongest work sits where product, performance, and AI meet. I built Lydian, a deployed benchmarking platform with a Rust engine, Tauri desktop app, SvelteKit web frontend, and NestJS/PostgreSQL backend for leaderboards and device comparison.

Fluent in Spanish, Catalan, and English, with a growing proficiency in Mandarin Chinese, I thrive in diverse and collaborative environments.
