Marie Skłodowska-Curie PhD Fellow in quantum computing, working on quantum algorithms and resource-efficient simulation, with interests in AI/ML and real-world industry applications.

About Me

I am a PhD student at Universitat de Valencia, working on quantum algorithms and quantum machine learning. My focus is on translating theoretical ideas into practical implementations and benchmarking them under realistic constraints. Previously, I worked as a data scientist at BRD, where I focused on building various ML pipelines for different needs by the bank.

Projects 🧑‍💻

NER for product names

A short project where I fine tuned a NER huggingface model for furniture products detection. The goal of the model was to return the products on a furniture website.

Clustering & classification of bank clients

Segmented bank customers using k-means clustering to identify credit demand patterns, then trained a k-nearest neighbors classifier to predict customer segments and support data-driven credit targeting.
