About me

I work at IndraMind company in the AI department, at which we aim to develop a sovereign AI platform. I am responsible for all the reinforcement learning projects in critical environments within all Indra Group.

I also collaborate with GRAM research group from UAH, where I received my PhD on january 22, 2026, entitled "Reinforcement Learning for Visual Semantic Navigation," advised by Roberto J. López Sastre. You can check my thesis presentation here. My work is focused on robotic navigation in novel environments. The main goal is to implement navigation algorithms into real robots using different techniques such as 3D scene understanding and reinforcement learning.

Appart from my work, I really enjoy playing music. I play bass and drums in Madrid based hardcore band Brothers Till We Die (as you can see on the background image 🤠). I also like to do silly music with my friends and sports (gym, padel...).
