About Me

I'm a Data Scientist and PhD Researcher in Ecology at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC), Madrid, currently expanding my expertise into AI Engineering and software development.

My background combines professional experience in data science, machine learning and predictive analytics with scientific research involving large-scale biodiversity datasets, geospatial analysis and statistical modelling.

I'm currently completing an AI Engineering program at 4Geeks Academy, focusing on building practical applications, integrating LLMs and APIs, automating workflows and developing software with AI-assisted engineering tools.

I enjoy turning complex ideas and data into useful, understandable applications.

  • 🔬 Researching: Environmental niches, biodiversity patterns and species coexistence across spatial scales.
  • 🧠 Exploring: LLM applications, AI agents, automation and AI engineering.
  • 💻 Building: Scientific software, web applications and data-driven tools.
  • 🚀 Currently interested in: Junior AI Engineering, Applied AI, Machine Learning and Data Science opportunities.
  • 🌍 Open to: Remote and hybrid opportunities, professional collaborations and interesting projects.
