Work Experience

Apr 2025 /Jul 2025

Data Science Intern

Kerox Technology

Researched NLP and LLM approaches to normalize Spanish clinical text to SNOMED CT. Built a concept extraction pipeline with dynamic segmentation, embeddings, Elasticsearch, semantic similarity, and fuzzy matching. Evaluation on public clinical datasets yielded over 70% exact or hierarchically related matches, including parent/child relationships. Developed post-coordination prototypes and synthetic examples.

Master’s Internship – Machine Learning

DMAIA, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

Developed an ECG processing and feature extraction pipeline using Python, NeuroKit2, SciPy, Pandas, and PhysioNet datasets. Compared traditional ML models and convolutional networks: the best evaluated model, HistGradientBoosting, achieved macro F1 of 0.921 and AUC of 0.991. Built a Flask application for signal visualization, rhythm classification, and reports with SQLite, and experimentally integrated commercial and Arduino-based ECG acquisition.

Undergraduate Internship – AI Research

SRM Consulting

Researched and evaluated Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for novel-view synthesis and 3D reconstruction using synthetic, real-world, and aerial images. Built Python tools for image and camera-pose preparation and a PySide6 interface for training experiments. Compared NeRF with traditional photogrammetry and assessed limitations in 3D mesh extraction.
