Career Summary
Studies
Following an excellence academic record in high school, I pursued one of the most demanding engineering degrees in Spain which I complemented with my masters focused on both technical and business specialisation. My expertise has been acquired through years of studies in international universities (USA-IIT, UK-Cranfield, Spain-UPC) which provides me an insightful perspective of the different cultures and working methods and an important pool of international contacts for future business development.
Group Experience
Team projects have been the pillar of my Bachelor's and Master's degrees. These projects granted me the opportunity of leading talented and valuable people as well as collaborating as a committed co-worker. My projects stand out for its sector diversification and relevance. You can find out more details about my projects in my CV-Online.
Communicative Skills
As an engineer, communicative skills play a strong role in my professional development. I have performed several public presentations showing the outcomes of my research, thesis or assignments. I spoke at my graduation ceremony in front of 400 people and I participated in the speech of my team in our conference about a manned mission to Mars in Washington University. My experience has taught me how to effectively speak in public in a concise and clear manner. I speak fluently 3 languages and I am willing to learn more.
Ambitious
My diligent endeavour towards enhancing my knowledge and soft skills, my interest in a business oriented career and my self-demanding expectations has driven my decision to become a consultant. I am fiercely committed to reaching the top of the ladder.

GMV Innovating Solutions
Junior Aerospace Engineer
07/2015-08/2015 (2 months)
The main task was to develop a deep study of the orbit
prediction algorithms in order to improve the current systems
and reduce significaly the error for a 1 month foresight.
The study had to involve all the possible scenarios that
normally occur in the life of a satellite such as eclipses.
The objective was to provide accurate prediction products to
a company that required this service. It involved a lot of
software generation (MySQL, advanced C++, python, bash and
perl). Plus the utilization of optimization algorithms developed
by myself such as genetic algorithms. Critical understanding
of the results, optimization of the system and integration to the
server (Linux server).
