About

I am a computer scientist and mathematician currently completing a second-year master's degree in Mathematics, Vision, and Learning (MVA) at ENS Paris-Saclay as a recipient of the FSMP Excellence Scholarship. Over the course of four years, I conducted research in factorization theory — a subfield of commutative algebra — resulting in four publications in international journals under the mentorship of Dr. Felix Gotti (MIT).

My current interests lie in exploring connections between fundamental mathematics — algebra, combinatorial optimization, and stochastic processes — and modern machine learning. I am currently interning at Air Liquide, where I am developing a stochastic optimization framework for inventory management, combining MDP modeling with neural-network-driven combinatorial optimization.

Previously, I was an instructor and researcher at the University of Havana, where I taught Data Structures and Algorithms. I have also worked in blockchain development and cryptographic research (Nethermind) and full-stack engineering (React, .NET, Node.js).

Outside of research, I have been active in competitive programming and mathematics competitions. I represented Cuba at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 2017, earning an Honorable Mention, and reached the World Finals of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) in 2024.
