Education

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM)

Computers Engineer Degree

2009 - 2015

I studied it, but I didn't finish it

During my time at “Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Sistemas Informáticos” I learned a lot about how to structure the problems to be solved, and some basic knowledge about the technology, but it was not until I started working that I was able to develop my skills.

I spent a lot of my free time as a Students Representation member of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid taking on roles such as School Students President and Secretary.
