Hi, I'm
Software Engineer · Artificial Intelligence
My greatest passion is building, creating, developing... Developing solutions to everyday problems that both I and ordinary people face. I try to make the world a better place through technology.
When I'm not training neural networks, I'm probably behind the stove.
0.000000 years coding
It all started in Oviedo, studying Software Engineering, and continued in Madrid researching how artificial intelligence can read patterns we can't see at a glance — from sleep stages to neural networks inspired by the brain itself.
That same instinct to find structure where there seems to be chaos is what led me to build RatioX: turning years of recipes into an interactive graph, treating cooking for what it really is, a system with its own rules.
Gastronomy has been with me my whole life, whether I was learning from it or simply enjoying it. Sooner or later it had to come out into the open: that's how @omarxteixeira was born, my other professional facet — a passion that's just getting started.
If you ask how all of this fits together at once — code, cooking, content, the gym — the short answer is that I'm multithreaded: several processes running in parallel, each with its own priority, and every now and then a deadlock or two.
Video games
A lifetime of playing: Assassin's Creed's history, the Souls games and their lesson in persistence, Batman: Arkham's values... but if one thing truly stuck with me, it's God of War's mythology.
Film
I'm as passionate about cinema and its industry as I am about making things myself. The Dark Knight trilogy, The Batman, Se7en... a well-made thriller is my weakness, though Schindler's List is the one that truly left a mark on me. The rest of my taste, on my Letterboxd.
See my LetterboxdCooking
It started cooking with my mother and learning from my grandparents. In recent years it's grown exponentially, to the point of turning into my own projects built around it.
See RatioXMusic
Electronic music is the soundtrack of my life: Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Skrillex, Martin Garrix have been with me for years. And Michael Jackson, the one who got me into dancing for 10 years.
Healthy living
Training, eating well, taking sleep and rest seriously — trying to push every aspect toward its best version. What matters isn't living more years, but living better the years you have.
Travel
Discovering new places, different cultures and, of course, their food — every trip is one more chance to learn.
Technology
Always keeping up with what's new, from computer hardware to everyday tools. Innovation grabs me just as much outside of work as it does inside it.
Learning
The thread that ties everything else together. A life without learning is a life wasted, and I apply that to everything: cooking, history, science, astrophysics... It's, at its core, what makes me who I am.

The cooking content from @omarxteixeira — recipes, tutorials and tips — turned into an interactive graph where every recipe connects to the others. It includes a blog-style view with search and advanced filters, plus a custom editor that publishes changes straight to GitHub. A 100% vanilla site, no build step, deployed on Cloudflare Pages.
A Windows desktop app that turns your Instagram data export — hundreds of scattered JSON/HTML files — into a readable local dashboard: activity timeline, messages, connections and a followers-vs-following cleanup view. Every file is parsed and analyzed on your own machine, nothing is ever uploaded. Built with PySide6 and Qt Fluent Widgets, with a strategy-pattern parser for Instagram's export formats, background worker threads and disk caching to keep large exports fast.

The 24-year-old from Langreo, a researcher at the University of Oviedo, won over judges Jordi Cruz, Pepe Rodríguez and Delicious Martha with a smoked salmon brioche and guacamole: "It was a recipe I'd worked on that had been a hit on New Year's Eve, but I never imagined it would open the door to something like this." "The show is far more demanding than it looks from the outside. Everything moves fast, there's a lot of pressure, and very little room for error," he says.
