My interest in technology began in the high school. I took the scientific branch of the course and learnt the basic concepts of mathematics, physics and chemistry. My interest in technology and information systems led me to design and prototype a home automation system for my final project at the end of the second year. With the help of the Arduino programming framework, I designed and programmed a system that included the automation of different systems in a house. These systems were for example lighting control, temperature control and access control. I really enjoyed the learning process that I had to go through to achieve my goal and that made me decide to enrol in a computer engineering degree.

I studied a degree in computer engineering at the Facultat d'Informàtica de Barcelona (UPC). During the first two years, the subjects I took were the compulsory ones of the degree and common to all students. During those years I learned the main concepts of software engineering, algorithms and programming. Once I finished the compulsory phase I had to choose a speciality. Out of the 5 available specialisations I decided to choose the Information Technology one. There I learnt concepts related to the technical resources that exist to create architectures for data capture and exploitation. However, my work experience at Friman awakened a deep curiosity in the design and study of information systems and the application of information technology to solve business problems. For this reason, in the last year I completed my technical profile by enrolling in subjects of the Information Systems speciallity to give my career a closer perspective to that of business management. I would like to end my presentation by highlighting four projects that I have carried out during my degree and which have been evaluated very positively.

First of all, I would like to highlight my final degree project. This project, entitled Loracoin: Towards a blockchain-based platform for managing LoRa devices, consisted of the creation of a fully distributed LoRa device management system based on Blockchain. The documentation can be accessed through the following link. In my repository on the faculty's git server you can access the Smart Contract code that served as the backend of the system to manage resources and access to information. I would like to point out that my work was recognised by the ieee-infocom tribunal and was published as a summary poster.

Secondly, I would like to highlight three projects associated with different subjects. One of the most important collaborations was with the oncology research department of the Hospital Clínic in Barcelona, where a project was set up to exploit data related to the incidence of cancer and exposure to certain carcinogens such as Radon. Another interesting project was the creation of E-Bin, in the context of smart cities and sustainability, a software capable of collecting information on the state of containers in a city to generate optimal collection routes for trucks and thus reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in large cities. Finally, in the subject of programming projects, I developed with a team of four people a system for generating association rules for information in data bases.
