About me

I'm a software engineer with a degree from the Barcelona Schools of Informatics and in recent years I earned a MSc in Environmental Science from the University of Auckland. I also hold a postgraduate diploma in International Cooperation and Development from the Technical University of Catalonia. For more than fifteen years I've worked for several companies and non-profits in different countries such as France, Germany, Vietnam, Indonesia, Spain and New Zealand. I spend most of my time building the future of geo-spatial data at Koordinates and doing marine research at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA).

I enjoy applying the knowledge I earned working as a computer scientist for more than 15 years to help solve problems in the environmental and conservation fields. Some of my most relevant skills are:

My favourites languages are R and Python, although I'm happy to use others depending on the circumstances.

My interests are broad; coastal environments, conservation, citizen science and community-led restoration. I currently reside in Auckland's East Coast with my little family after relocating from Wellington, where we first settled in New Zealand in 2014.
