About
About
I’m Ignacio. I’m an Android and AI engineer in Valencia. I build things that run on the phone itself — voice assistants, on-device ML, a bit of browser computer vision. I like that side of it: the constraints are real, and the privacy comes for free.
I also tend to build from scratch when a library hides the part I want to understand — the tokenizer, the tracker, that kind of thing. It’s slower, but it’s how I actually learn how something works.
I speak Spanish, Valencian, English, French, and some German.
