About
An introduction to help you learn more about me.
I am a Spanish Biomedical Engineer born in Madrid, Spain. I would describe myself as ambitious, effective, and proactive—a natural overachiever—which is why I ended up in San Diego, California, 9,000 km away from home. This step in my life has led to the best years of my life so far, allowing me to grow and learn both professionally and personally in ways I had never imagined.

I am passionate about medical devices, AI/ML, and field engineering, combining innovative technology with healthcare to improve patient outcomes and advance diagnostics. During my undergraduate studies, I specialized in machine learning, data science, and AI, culminating in a thesis on AI applications in medical implants, particularly hip implants. This solidified my passion for the intersection of healthcare and technology. My time at UC San Diego and Biomed Simulation has deepened my expertise in medical devices, with a particular emphasis on cardiovascular technologies. Additionally, my hands-on experience in field engineering and troubleshooting has further strengthened my problem-solving skills and ability to optimize medical device performance in real-world settings. My personal experience with heart conditions fuels my commitment to improving frameworks, treatments, and outcomes, ultimately enhancing patient care and quality of life.
