finances, space and technology enthusiast

My passion for tech and innovation sparked early, driving me to study Aerospace Engineering at the Technical University of Valencia (UPV) starting in 2014. During my time there, I wasn’t just focused on classes—I dived into hands-on projects, collaborating with peers and professors to turn ideas into reality.

In 2017, I joined a competition hosted by the European Space Agency, where Stratolloon was born. Alongside my co-founder, Alex Caballero, we leaped into entrepreneurship. Our startup quickly gained traction, winning awards from YC Startup School, Banco Santander, and European Institute of Innovation and Technology, to name a few.

One of our proudest achievements? Developing SafeMAN—a system that uses satellite data to monitor firefighters in extreme conditions. SafeMAN took home the top prize at the same ESA competition that Stratolloon had won, making me the first person to win the Galileo Masters prize twice and, at 22 years old, the youngest ever.

In 2019, I completed a Master’s in Startup Administration, specializing as a CEO, thanks to a grant from UPV. By 2020, we pivoted our startup from hardware to software, zeroing in on satellite data for crop and earth monitoring.

From 2021 to 2024, I managed projects and worked as a data analyst at a consulting firm before becoming Head of Product & AI at GPTadvisor in 2024.
Now, I’m leading the charge in shaping AI-driven solutions for the financial world.

I’m always curious and ready for the next exciting project 🔍.
