About me
Currently finishing my bachelor's degree in Computer Science (Computer Engineering branch) in Carlos III university of Madrid. I like programming, teaching CS stuff, cars, losing countless hours tweaking a sound in one of my tracks, and music technology.
When working on a team, I can coordinate with my teammates but I prefer working alone, either in a part of the project I can do by myself or in the whole thing. I like documenting my progress, what is done and what is not done, and setting realistic baselines to work from there. I have a special interest in lightweight, simple solutions. I don't find joy in using the latest technologies but if they are simpler and do the same thing than other tools, I will sure be happy to welcome them.
What I know
How to program. Mostly C-style coding and Python scripting, but also OOP in Java, basic web development, REST APIs, the usual.
Computer Science and Engineering things, what I learned in the bachelor. I'm also interested in Linux, data storage, (basic) DSP among other things
Sound and audio, making music in the computer. Creating and finishing electronic music, mixing recordings, DJing, MIDI controllerism, audiovisual generation and performances.
Basic video recording, editing, production. Vegas and Adobe Premiere, how to process audio so that it sounds great in the final video, how to add and process SFXs.
