Data and platform engineer based in Barcelona. I build the pipelines, infrastructure and validation tooling that scientists, statisticians and analysts rely on, with geospatial and scientific data as my specialty.
- Data platforms - batch pipelines and data lake architecture (Spark, Airflow, Trino, MinIO, Apache Iceberg), metadata and lineage (OpenMetadata), DuckDB for lightweight registries.
- Geospatial and scientific data - GDAL, Rasterio, GeoPandas, xarray, PostGIS; GeoTIFF/COG, NetCDF, Parquet, STAC.
- HPC and deployment - Slurm, Ansible, Docker/Singularity, GitLab CI/CD, Linux automation.
- Validation services - FastAPI services and QC gates that stop bad data before it reaches downstream users.
13+ years across quantitative analysis, official statistics and scientific computing. I started in statistics and econometrics, moved into geospatial data production and national-scale data lake engineering, and now work on climate model data pipelines (CMIP) at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
- Spatio-temporal inference on noisy data: GPS probe traces, map-matching, speed and closure estimation.
- Decision rules under uncertainty: ranking competing actions or alerts by probability x consequence.
- Combinatorial designs and their computational side (enumeration, search, GPU/HPC performance).
- A typed systems language for production services alongside Python.

Most of my professional work lives in institutional repositories.
