About 

I am an architect with over 15 years of diverse work experience. For the past six years I have been focused on bio/pharma projects.

I have a keen eye for design and archviz, I am obsessively nerdy about contemporary architecture and I like being precise, clean and efficient in my work.

Throughout my work experience, I have been involved in numerous architectural competitions by creating models, drafting, and producing 3D visualizations. Some of the most notable achievements include winning first prizes for the design of the Architects' Association of Madrid's headquarters, an R&D Center in Cáceres, and a Vehicle Inspection Pavilion in Almendralejo, all of which have been built.

I have also participated in various other competitions, securing second and third prizes or special mentions for projects like secondary schools, market halls, sports facilities, and urban developments in Madrid and other cities. Additionally, I have contributed to the design of R&D centers, congress halls, and cultural centers both nationally and internationally, as well as residential projects and public administration buildings.
