I am trained in computer, Data Science and aircraft engineering. I have twelve years of experience in the education sector, (four as principal) and four in the aircraft engineering sector. I possess a combination of technical expertise and strong problem solving, analytical, communication and management skills. My dynamic learning capability will help me to successfully engage with a large variety projects, especially if they involve interdisciplinary tasks.
I am living a new professional experience engaging with AI innovative technology. I understand life from a very innovative and open-minded perspective.

HCLIM (Historical Climate Dataset) Analysis
Data Cleaning, Analysis and Visualization of HCLIM datasetHCLIM in nature magazine
HCLIM in SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute)
Taking advantage of the Global Early Instrumental Monthly Meteorological Multivariable Database, HCLIM provide with public dataset concerning monthly values for TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, WET DAYS and PREASSURE. The collection totals 12,452 records (meteorological time series with one variable at one location) in 118 countries and more than 10 million rows.
The process carried out consists of a STL (Seasonal-Trend decomposition) followed by finding breakpoints and filling data according to some criteria.
Future work includes TIME SERIES ANALISYS – SPATIO TEMPORAL ANALISYS
Backpropagation algorithm in a Neural Network
Analysis of the Backpropagation algorithm in a Neural NetworkWhile trying to explain the insights and processes of neural networks to my friend, I was reminded of my Data Mining course in Chicago during Fall 2023. Professor Vijay K. Gurbani, from whom I learned so much, explained neural networks in such a simple way that it inspired me to revisit the topic and write a series of short articles. The goal is for any non-expert to understand how these neural networks work behind the scenes, and to shed some light for researchers from different fields (not specifically related to data science) who are leveraging neural networks for their research.
First, as a Spaniard and a scientist, I must acknowledge the genius of RAMÓN Y CAJAL, awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1906 for his research and discovery of neurons. Neural Networks (NN) aim to imitate our brain and the way neurons interact to enable us to think and feel Among all the neural networks flooding research these days, I pick the FULLY CONNECTED FEEDFORWARD NEURAL NETWORK sometimes referred to as a MULTILAYER PERCEPTRON (MLP).

ZatDroid- App satellites Search & Augmented reality (JAVA)Patent VA-325-2013
ZATDROID offers the possibility of tracking any artificial satellite.
It locates it in Google Maps together with its predicted trajectory and it also allows the user to see it in real time in the sky with augmented reality camera view.
Orbital mechanics calculations are developed following Newton equations and NORAD
(North American Aerospace Defence Command) propagation models, firstly published in 1980

Implementation of GSuite For Education
Administrator and responsible for GSuite for schools.In the last few years, I have been training teachers, defining protocols and developing the GSuite Applications needed in the school.
Excel Expert (VBA Programming)
Expert use of Programming with VBAIn AIRBUS I automated many processes using Excel and visual tools to make it understandable for anyone.
At the school, I implemented a complete management protocol for every task, which was especially needed and helpful during lockdown.

New learning and teaching methodology: Interactive groups. Adding value to help family and friends in class
This working style, which is a characteristic of learning communities, allows the educational community to participate in classroom activities.
Everybody learns and teaches at the same time. Activities are interrelated, practical and entertaining. Learning takes place reciprocally within the group.
Technology: Paper roll structures
Students learnt the grid structure modelling creating structures with paper roll bars and then joining them with glue.
Technology: Pixel Art
Design of a big-scale pixelated drawing., divided in tiles, one for each student. Coloring the grid with black pixels was required. This explains the meaning of a matrix and its application to graphical designArchitecture & Design
Students drew the sketch of their house by hand, taking the required measurements. After that, they created a bidimensional view with the computer.
