Double degree in Mathematics and Physics
Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Final project on divisibility criteria in commutative rings, graded 10/10.
About
From first principles
to working systems.
I studied mathematics and physics without much of a career plan. I simply liked sitting with difficult systems until their behaviour started to make sense.
That led, less directly than it now appears, to credit and financial markets in Madrid, quantitative and investment risk, and eventually Zürich. Over time I became as interested in building the data, software, and analytical machinery behind decisions as in performing the analysis itself.
I still care about the financial and mathematical questions themselves. I have simply found that the way data is structured, calculations are encoded, and tools are designed often determines how well those questions can be answered.
Beyond work
Side projects, mathematics, and an unreasonable number of puzzles.
Building does not stop with professional systems. I made a language-learning application while learning German, built a personal investment index around questions I wanted to test, and took Thorax from a frustration in the gym to a product running on web, iOS, and Android.
Mathematics never quite became a former subject either. I am currently investigating the GMM conjecture and using AI as a research companion: useful for challenging arguments, organising a branching investigation, and suggesting better questions, but not a substitute for proof.
Away from a screen, I train, travel, follow science, and keep adding to an unnecessarily large collection of Rubik’s cubes and twisty puzzles. This is probably evidence that I do not always know when to leave a problem alone.
Personal experiment
An index built to test an investment idea.
A cumulative-performance comparison with the S&P 500 across 1,332 observations. Dates, currency, and whether the supplied series is live or backtested were not specified, so I present it here as a quantitative experiment rather than an investment claim.
