About
From A Coruña to Barcelona, through Gijón, Sydney and Munich.
My journey has been shaped by curiosity, engineering, and a constant desire to understand how things work. I was born in A Coruña, studied Mechanical Engineering in Gijón, and later decided to go abroad to broaden my horizons and gain international experience.
Sydney was a period of learning and personal growth. Years later, Munich became the center of my professional development, where I spent more than a decade contribuiting to projects for BMW Group.
Today I live in Barcelona, combining industrial experience with teaching and new projects related to technology, innovation, and continuous learning.
