My background.

Bachelor’s degree

By the time I defended my bachelor’s thesis in May 2023, I was already investing in crypto-assets and using Web3. That experience led me to study how the EU’s emerging MiCA framework would affect exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase and Kraken, and where decentralised finance (DeFi) fitted into the picture.

Instead of an internship, I chose courses in algebra for cryptography and cellular networks and 5G.

Master’s degree

For my master’s thesis, I represented each batch with an ERC-1155 token. The token points to its metadata and attachments on IPFS. I designed the system around three goals. Authenticity of supply chain records, data integrity and non-repudiation of recorded operations.

In machine learning I studied how backpropagation uses error to update a network’s weights. In big data I worked with documents in MongoDB, graphs in Neo4j and time series in InfluxDB. In mobile applications I developed Roamly. During my master’s degree I also studied network security.

For business economics I chose Valve because I wanted to understand what gives a digital item value inside a game and when that value affects people’s choices outside it. It is a question I also encounter in my interest in crypto and bring to Rockstar’s choices for GTA VI.

I have discussed blockchain with Roberto Sica. His experience includes digital asset custody and tokenisation.

In Almería I worked with an international team on Carnicería de Raúl, a Pre-AI university e-commerce project for a Madrid butcher. I worked on authentication, roles, security and cryptography, Stripe integration and the legal aspects of checkout.

In System Security I studied both attack and defence techniques. My systems administration labs covered Google Cloud (GCP), Linux and Windows Server, from separating networks with a DMZ to managing identities with LDAP and Active Directory. I also took DSA I and II, the two data structures and algorithms courses.
