Biography

I am currently an entrepreneur. I just founded Langtern, a language learning app that is free for students.

I hold a PhD in Neural Machine Translation from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona.

I have been a software developer for most of my life, then data scientist, then researcher and now entrepreneur.
