I was born and raised in the picturesque town of Ordenes in Galicia, Spain. During my childhood and youth, I found myself engrossed in thrilling adventures and captivating science fiction books, while also indulging in various outdoor sports. The combination of these experiences fostered my imagination and love for exploration.

Later on, I relocated to the vibrant city of Santiago de Compostela, where I pursued my passion for mathematics and embarked on my journey of studying statistics and machine learning, culminating in a PhD. I am truly fascinated by the intricate patterns and hidden insights that can be unraveled through these disciplines.

Beyond academics, I possess a vibrant sense of humor, which adds a lighthearted touch to my interactions with others. Traveling is one of my greatest joys, as it allows me to immerse myself in different cultures and broaden my perspectives. In my leisure time, I actively seek out cultural activities, be it attending concerts or engaging in meaningful conversations with intriguing individuals.

If you'd like to get in touch with me, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm an outgoing and sociable person, always eager to connect with new and interesting individuals.
