I am an AI Engineer and Researcher holding a PhD in Computer Science, driven by a desire to unravel complex mysteries and build elegant, scalable solutions. My career spans across high-impact domains—including cybersecurity, FinTech, Blockchain, and gaming—giving me a unique perspective on applying cutting-edge machine learning to real-world challenges.
Most recently, my work has focused on the frontier of intelligent automation and autonomous decision-making. Across my last two professional endeavors, I have deeply specialized in designing and implementing advanced AI agents for vulnerability reports classification and developing prediction Agents within open-source frameworks. By leveraging modern architectures and distributed systems, I focus on taking complex AI models from the research phase and building them into production-ready platforms.
Outside of engineering, I stay curious about the world by exploring astrophysics, organizing tech community events or giving talks around AI, and volunteering in urban family gardens. Let’s connect to talk about the future of AI agents, machine learning, or open-source innovation!

How to hack an LLM
In this interactive workshop we will learn how to change the answer of an LLM using a technique called RAG. After a brief introduction to open source LLMs and how prompt engineering works, we will discover how it is possible to change the output of a model using the langchain python library.
The long shadow of AI
While Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already present in many aspects of our lives, there is also a big AI hype creating a lot of fears and wrong expectations. In this talk we will not only discover the many definitions of AI, but ponder together the true implications of them based on the state-of-the-art research. Besides we will learn how to be more active in this amazing field, because we all have a role within this AI journey.
Intro to AI Design and Development
For the TensorFlow portion, the goal is to give the audience the flavor of building neural networks by using colab notebooks,. For the design part, the takeaway is to discover the user impact of the technical decisions when designing and building AI systems. We need to introduce elements from both fields (development and design), so folks can work better together.
Some basic python programming experience is desired but not required. Maths theory will be very basic but some algebra knowledge might help.

AI Agents for Vulnerability Detection in Smart Contracts
This talk explores how AI agents can transform vulnerability detection in Web3 security. We'll examine practical techniques for integrating AI into triaging and audit workflows, demonstrating how these approaches reduce manual effort while improving coverage. Attendees will leave with actionable insights for applying AI-assisted methods to smart contract security.

Developing products using AI-Agents
Nutri Coach is an AI agent built using the open source library from HuggingFace smolagents. In this talk we will present the journey of this implementation by understanding the product cycle and all the needed steps. Besides we will introduce different open source libraries that can be used to build AI agents.
Cosmico workshop
En este Learnspace, dividido en dos partes, exploramos dos perspectivas cruciales en la creación de productos de IA: la técnica y la experiencia del usuario. En particular, hablaremos de:
Construcción de redes neuronales: crea y entrena redes neuronales utilizando TensorFlow y Google Colab, con ejercicios guiados que te permitirán comprender el funcionamiento técnico desde cero.
Diseño y confiabilidad en IA: aprende a evaluar la confiabilidad y aplicabilidad de los modelos, descubriendo cómo nuestras decisiones técnicas impactan el desarrollo de productos de IA seguros y transparentes.

Unconscious Bias Workshop
Our brains are biased consciously but also unconsciously. This funny and interactive workshop has different goals: to build awareness about this issue, give data and share some solutions.

Security and Privacy for dummies
Not everyone has awareness about the very basic tips to keep your data safe. In this talk we covered both from the security and from the privacy perspective which are the small relevant actions that each person might follow just to reduce the risk of being hacked. No previous experience or knowledge was needed.
