I obtained a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Malaga in 2001. I graduated as number 2 of that year's class.
After that, I earned a MS in Industrial Engineering, graduating as number 1 in the class of 2003.
Immediately after concluding my university studies in 2003, I started working for the national railway company, RENFE. During my time there I worked in the design, engineering and construction of two prototype freight locomotives. The project was a success and our facility was assigned a contract for building 26 locomotives more. I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge about concurrent engineering, project scheduling and quality management. The most important lessons I learned, though, were about team work.
In 2004 I collaborated with Airzone, a company that develops and manufactures innovative control systems for HVAC installations. Together with the manufacturing director and an external consultant, I was involved in generating a complete work time study for the company's two (at the time) factories. This project allowed me to put into practice my training in work measurement methodologies, systems engineering and efficiency analysis.
After that, I went to work with Premo, one of the biggest players in the automotive RFID market worldwide. I was a production engineer there, managing about 30 workers. I also led some purely technical projects related to machine vision systems. I learned many things about the highest and most thorough quality standards in the world and a lot of manufacturing engineering and production systems. It was also a good learning experience regarding people management and leadership.
Since 2006 I've been at the IAVANTE Foundation, a nonprofit fundation dedicated to highly specialised medical training. We use high-end cutting-edge medical simulators and innovative training methodologies. We also develop innovative ICT projects in the healthcare sector. I am involved as a project coordinator in the following projects:

- Portal MIR is a collaborative portal and e-learning platform for all the medical residents of the Andalusia region (about four thousand).
- Bank of Innovative Practices is a platform with the aim of fostering and improving innovation diffusion in the Andalusian health sector.
- Informarse.es Salud is a multimedia service (available on the internet, mobile devices and in hospital TVs) with healthy living advice and basic medical education for the general population.
