23yo student from Spain, BsC in Mathematics and BsC in Computer Science @USC

My main motivation to learn more in this field is the pure satisfaction and joy that comes from understanding a complex system and being able to develop it further.

Goals for 2025:

• Dive deep into parallel and high performance computing, learn MPI and important distributed algorithms (already know CUDA and OpenMP)
• Master C++ and read into more about formal aspects of programming languages and compilers
• Setup web server and web page, current plan is to host it in a Raspberry Pi and upload some posts to it about my research interests :)
• Teach a course at my faculty (proposed an optative Introduction to Python for data science course for Mathematics students)
• Get a good result again at Ada Byron contest, keep improving in Competitive Programming
• Finish bachelor thesis of Mathematics on the Fast Fourier Transform and Informatics on Optimized point cloud searches with linearized octrees using Space Filling Curves
• Get accepted into a good CS Master's program

Goals for 2024:

• Improve in competitive programming, learn new techniques and reach ~1800-2000 elo in Codeforces (didn't grind Codeforces too much, only got to 1400 but won two regional competitions and our team ended 5th in Ada Byron National Programming Contest)
• Create portfolio webpage
• Get an internship and learn a lot on it
• Come back to learning pure mathematics at uni (trying to not fail every course)
• Master more Git and collaboration workflows, learn to use Github Actions

Goals for 2023:

• Improve my code quality and profficiency
• Finish the CS classes from my deegree
• Create a full-stack Android application
• Learn a lot about software security, also about authentication protocols and services
• Continue studying at NTNU and try to get into another exchange program for next year

Goals for 2022:

• Improve my code quality and profficiency
• Pass all my CS classes with a decent grade
• Read about topics that I'm very interested in (Backend stuff, more stuff about Operative Systems and Linux, ...)
• Learn more about database systems (MongoDB, Distributed Databases?? ...)
• Create an actual complete website (need a cool idea first tho)
• Prepare for my Erasmus year at NTNU
• Learn how to optimize programs to the limit by using vector instructions and assembly, maybe even read about stuff like CUDA (done in 2024)
• Learn about how video/audio/image encoding works in general and how to use them and manipulate them in a program
