I am a cybersecurity software engineer at Build38 developing a security SDK to protect various apps. In my day to day, I use 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.

Years ago when I was a kid I started my journey by making some little projects using Scratch. Soon I realized that Scratch was too basic and started to use Unity by following some tutorials on Youtube. At that age I felt it was too complex and decided to set it aside. During high school I coursed a couple subjects related with programming. One of them we made a website using HTML and PHP. The other one we learnt some programming using Lego Mindstorms robots. We started implementing simple actions like making the robot to follow a line on the ground and evolved it to a maze solver. The final project was a competition among all classmates where we had to build a sumo robot. Along my class partner, we managed to being runners-up in this competition. The last unit of this subject we made an introduction to Arduino. We made basic projects like making a LED turn on depending on the amount of light the sensor gets. At home, I also have an Arduino board, and haven’t made any intermediate level project. During my last year on high school I decided to start over using Unity and followed more Youtube tutorials. On college after learning serious programming knowledge I felt more confident and made some little video games on my own with Unity.
