Cybersecurity Software Engineer @ Build38 Computer Science Student @ Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya AI Hobbyist
I am a cybersecurity software engineer at Build38 developing a security SDK to protect various apps. In my day to day, I use C and C++ to program the core SDK, as well as some Java, Kotlin, Swift and Flutter for creating wrappers that help integrate the SDK to costumer apps.
I am also a student pursuing a masters degree in Computer Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. During my free time I compete in coding competitions like Google Hash Code, Google Code Jam, HackUPC, etc. I also develop video games using Unity game engine for fun. Additionally, I’m an AI hobbyist and have built several Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems exploring vector databases, embedding pipelines, and LLM orchestration.
Skills
C, C++, C#
Using it as the main programming language. Used in Build38, college, contest programming and for game developing.
Java & Kotlin
Used mainly for developing Android wrappers and apps in Build38. Also used in side projects.
Python
I’ve use it in many college subjects. I created a Telegram Bot, used for various machine learning models, and some scripting for a Neural Network.
Unity
Medium understanding. Used to develop some video games, as well as a VR and an AR app.
Web development
Created some websites with it, including this one. Also contributed to the theme of this site.
PostgreSQL
Basic knowledge of this object-relational database system. I have used it in college in Data Bases courses.
Git
Experienced with git-based development. Mostly, use GitHub and Bitbucket. Also, have experience in working with GitLab.
Linux
Using as the main operating system. I’m used to interact with it via the command line. Shell scripting is also one of my strengths.
