From sports data to data everywhere
Everything started in Barcelona, where I studied Sports Science and Physical Activity. That's where I realized something that would shape my entire career: data speaks, you just have to know how to listen. Times, loads, results—everything was information. I worked for years as a personal trainer and as the right hand of a gym owner, learning that behind every decision there were—or should have been—numbers backing it up.
The pandemic, Menorca, and an unexpected turn
After the pandemic, like so many others, I felt the call to go home. I returned to Menorca with a clear plan: build my own gym, more specialized, focused on data-driven training and scientific evidence. But life, which has its own algorithm, had other plans. I met someone who shared my way of seeing the world. I fell in love. And when she told me she had a job opportunity in Chicago and asked if I wanted to go with her... I thought about it twice. The third time, I packed my bag.
Colombia, Chicago, and Mexico: learning by doing
Before crossing the Atlantic, I spent more than three months in Colombia. What was supposed to be one season in Chicago turned into three. There, I got a job at a restaurant where I could see something fascinating up close: the complete flow of a business. Administration, accounting, coordination, costs... And there the data was again, guiding every important decision. From Chicago I traveled to Mexico, continuing to learn, adapt, and absorb new cultures.
The return and the best investment of my life
Family circumstances brought me back to Spain. I focused almost entirely on my family, and after four years, my relationship came to an end. I found myself at a starting point: unemployed, reinventing myself in almost every aspect. That's when I made the clearest decision of my life: invest in myself. I'd always had a special relationship with data—in my discussions I always said "look at the data, it tells you everything"—so I embarked on the Data Analytics Bootcamp at Immune Technology Institute in Madrid. It was hard, intense, and enormously satisfying.
Philippines: where my first major project was born
After finishing the bootcamp, with family life stabilized, I went on a trip with my best friend. Destination: the Philippines. Two months diving and traveling the country... and a curiosity I couldn't ignore. How is tourism counted here? Where would a business be most profitable? What kind of traveler arrives and what do they seek? I knew data could answer those questions. That's how my Philippines Tourism Analysis project was born. I started working on it while still traveling. When my friend left, I stayed. Five months in total, living with local people, learning their philosophy of life and way of seeing the world.
Today: on the move again, without losing focus
Other family circumstances brought me back to Spain. Starting over no longer scares me: I've done it several times and know there's always something valuable on the other side. I keep studying, keep improving every day, and keep adapting to a world that doesn't stop. Because if these years and all these miles have taught me anything, it's that new beginnings aren't the end of something. They're exactly where the best part starts.
