Actions

He is currently involved in the development of data analytics projects. In the area of on-premise OLAP tools, he contributes to the system prototyping process, from selecting the indexing engine to designing and implementing dashboards.

He was part of the University's Governing Team, where he was responsible for defining strategic lines related to ICT.

He has led several initiatives focused on technological renewal, including:

Upgrading campus network connectivity

Implementing new storage systems

Transitioning to elastic computing infrastructures

Introducing AI-powered tools for information management

Enhancing the integration and interoperability of corporate data

Advancing capabilities in data analytics
among other projects.

Previously, he developed and implemented a project to improve the energy efficiency of the university’s data processing center. The project incorporated indirect free-cooling systems and cold/hot aisle containment, resulting in significant energy savings. The current Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is 1.6 in summer and 1.3 in winter.

He has also collaborated with the systems management team, where he implemented an automated provisioning system for operating systems and applications on client devices.
In addition, he has contributed to projects such as:

The expansion and enhancement of the monitoring system for performance and availability of information systems

Server virtualization, with a focus on automated provisioning, fault tolerance, and load balancing

He actively participated in Spain’s first national e-wallet project, developed jointly by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and La Caixa, with a focus on smart card management. His contributions included:

Developing applications for key recording, reading, management, and verification, based directly on ISO 7816 protocol frames

Implementing a PKCS#11 module to abstract data and key structures

He also contributed to the development of multitier server architectures for the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona’s self-service electronic administration systems. His work included:

Developing libraries for integration with ATM networks

Building middleware components to abstract the data and access layers
