Bio

I am a Computer-Scientist who graduated from a Ms in Research in Informatics focused on Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality (UPC) while researching and implementing geometry processing solutions for HP’s high-resolution 3D printers.

I currently work at Skydance Animation Madrid, building algorithmic and mathematical solutions for our rigging and animation teams.

In 2022, I got selected and participated in Vulcanus in Japan, where I got to live and research in the land of the rising sun, working in Robotics for Mujin Inc.

My areas of interest cover mainly anything related to graphics, though I have mostly worked on geometry processing and animation/simulation. Also, C++ is my language of choice.
