About me
CTO, co-founder, and PhD in biomedical imaging
Professional Career
Education and experience
PhD in Biomedical Imaging (Summa Cum Laude) from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Telecommunications Engineer from UC3M and EPFL (Switzerland). I have more than 10 years of international experience at the forefront of DeepTech and MedTech, combining a strong academic foundation with a pragmatic, results-driven view of end-to-end product development.
My technical focus is on the architecture of next-generation imaging sensors, depth systems (LiDAR, ToF), and high-performance FPGA- and SoC-based data acquisition (DAQ) platforms. Across leading institutions and companies such as CERN, Huawei, and Clue Technologies, I have led critical projects turning complex research concepts into scalable, certifiable, competitive technology.
As co-founder and CTO of PraanaTech, I combine precision technical execution—from RTL design to preclinical validation—with a broad strategic outlook. I am skilled at leading and connecting multidisciplinary teams, helping individuals excel to reach ambitious goals. I am experienced in product roadmaps (MVP), intellectual property (patents), and regulatory compliance in regulated environments, always with the aim of taking innovation from the lab to the global market.
