About José Manuel
I am a PhD researcher in Machine Learning and Mathematical Statistics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. I help companies, startups, and research teams solve problems involving machine learning, statistical modeling, data analysis, and scientific computing.
My expertise includes generative modeling, hypothesis testing, density estimation, rank-based methods, model evaluation, and reliable AI. I can support projects such as machine learning prototypes, PyTorch/JAX implementations, statistical analysis, data science workflows, model validation, research paper implementation, and technical consulting.
I combine a strong mathematical background with practical engineering experience. My toolkit includes Python, Julia, PyTorch, JAX, C++, and modern data science libraries. Previously, I worked as an R&D software engineer and data engineer on large-scale data systems, query optimization, and production-oriented infrastructure.
I enjoy turning complex ideas into robust, understandable, and usable solutions.
