Founder of Mellisphera. AgriTech company focused on improving bee health through information technologies. Developing the Mellisphera Open Source precision beekeeping platform (Github).

Main objectives are driven by the constant improvement of user experience : Bringing easy to understand actionable data to the end user in a simple way. This usually needs to build models and algorithms that will crunch the raw data and provide accurate information to the beekeeper.

Models like BFit (fitness), BForce (brood) or BCast (forecasting) are built leveraging data science tools and validated through experimentation on the field with monitored apiaries as well as collaborative citizen scientists.

Advocate of Open Source tools as a driver for extended collaboration with institutes, research organizations and citizens.

Education : Aerospace Engineering (Uni. Politec, Madrid) and Energy & Propulsion Engineering (Insa, France). With 20 years experience collaborating with research organizations and managing teams focused on improving methods & tools in the aerospace sector.

15 years experience as a backyard beekeeper.
