about me

I make things. With data, with code, with design.

The thread was always the same: understand how something works and translate it.

[a] training data

my story

I come from design. I started in Fine Arts because I wanted to understand how things work, and I got to data for the same reason: it is the invisible layer underneath everything.

I study Data Science at the UOC and Data Analytics at Ironhack at the same time. I work with Python, SQL and visualisation — and every week I care more about the real cost of building systems.

My first real project was my own account. I analyse my metrics on TikTok and Instagram to understand what works, how an audience behaves and how you measure the intangible. Real data. Real consequences.

Design didn't disappear. An analysis nobody understands isn't finished. That's where everything converges.

content

I started because as I was learning, funny metaphors and correlations kept coming to me and I felt compelled to share them. Tech humour, gadgets, setup upgrades and the process of learning data from scratch.
