I am part of the EIT Digital program in Human Computer Interaction and Design. I am currently studying for a Master's degree in Human Computer Interaction and Design offered by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. ![](/files/1UpyeKcw62vUBaxBIdez) This is my third year studying and living abroad. I took part in the Erasmus programme at WUT in Warsaw for one year, followed by one year of studying for my master's degree at UPM in Madrid, and now I am in Paris at Université Paris-Saclay. International environments offer me the best opportunity to express myself. I enjoy discovering diverse cultures, making new friends worldwide, participating in group activities, and sharing experiences. These experiences have not only broadened my horizons but have also sharpened my skills. My expertise lies in Digital Innovation, Product Design, and Software Development. #### **Digital Innovation** Over the last year at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, I have been learning and applying innovation principles to projects that aim to contribute to the sustainable development goals. In the final project of the year, I led my group to simulate a start-up that fights light pollution and promotes the development of sustainable cities through advanced algorithms and cutting-edge technologies, more on this link After completing courses in innovation and entrepreneurship at UPM, I began applying innovative concepts to enhance people's working and learning experiences. Currently, I am developing a fresh platform that has the potential to evolve into a digital solution and perhaps even a startup. #### **Product Designing, Testing and Evaluating** I have attained hands-on experience in applying concepts such as user research, design, prototyping using Figma, development, and testing of ICT products, with the aim to ensure accessibility for all. I interviewed 15 real users in cafes throughout the city. I tested both the low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes with an equal number of participants. This experience enhanced my ability to put users at ease during the work and gather and analyse the collected data. At the Politécnica de Madrid, I also studied and applied how to perform AB tests using Google Optimizer, Google Tab Manager and Google Analytics, and how to write reports and present the results obtained. #### **Software Development** I am skilled in software development thanks to my work experience as a full stack developer, mobile application developer and my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. For the past two years I've been working remotely as a software developer, primarily using the Django Python framework combined with PostgreSQL. I am focusing my studies in advanced interactive systems, mixed reality, and immersive interaction, along with an in-depth exploration of advanced design frameworks. I am currently developing a virtual DJ where you can control the music without using any objects, just a camera and a screen, using computer vision and speech recognition algorithms. Beyond my professional skills, I am passionate about sports, both individual disciplines such as running, and team sports like basketball and football. Travel is an important part of my life, and I find pleasure in participating in musical jam sessions, playing the guitar or bass. Furthermore, I would like to learn new languages, with French and Spanish being my current goals, in addition to my fluency in Italian and English. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
