Born in Córdoba and raised in El Puerto de Santa María. Moved to Sevilla to study my Bachelor's and then to Madrid to study my Master´s (Industrial Engineering). During my Bachelor's I spent one year in Padova, Italy (where I learnt about Photovoltaics and how to cook the real pasta carbonara and risotto) and during my Master's I spent one year in Tampere, Finland (where I learnt how to live without sunlight). After coming back from Finland, I joined RatedPower!
