Before joining Qilimanjaro’s QaaS team as a junior software engineer, he carried out two internships. First, he collaborated with Dr. Miquel Montero to develop teaching material for Master Students related to Quant Finance. Then, he worked as a Trainee Data Analyst for Schneider Electric, where he was introduced to AWS services. His professional interests span across Data Science, Quantitative Finance and Quantum Computing. In fact, in his BSc Final Thesis he is exploring how quantum annealing will help to solve very complex financial problems, such as portfolio optimization. He would define himself as proactive, intense and fast-learner. Always eager to learn and broaden his horizons.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title/><link>https://pybcn.org/people/adrian-garcia-riber/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pybcn.org/people/adrian-garcia-riber/</guid><description>&lt;p>[ENG]

In 2015, I shifted my focus primarily to PostgreSQL. From 2017 to 2021, I led a team responsible for migrating thousands of Oracle databases from a vast, global &amp;ldquo;private cloud&amp;rdquo; environment to PostgreSQL in the &amp;ldquo;public cloud,&amp;rdquo; spanning multiple data centers in the US, EU, Singapore, Australia, and Korea.
In February 2021, I joined Adyen at their headquarters in Amsterdam, focusing on some exceptionally large PostgreSQL installations. In Sept 2022 I joined Gartner in Barcelona to lead multiple DBA teams based in US, Europe and India, this was a very exciting role and I loved living in Barcelona. However after a year, I had to move to Madrid for family/health reasons and so decided to return to Adyen who have a new Tech Hub in Madrid.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title/><link>https://pybcn.org/people/david-blazquez/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pybcn.org/people/david-blazquez/</guid><description/></item><item><title/><link>https://pybcn.org/people/david-de-la-iglesia-castro/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pybcn.org/people/david-de-la-iglesia-castro/</guid><description/></item><item><title/><link>https://pybcn.org/people/david/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pybcn.org/people/david/</guid><description/></item><item><title/><link>https://pybcn.org/people/diego-giaquinta/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pybcn.org/people/diego-giaquinta/</guid><description>&lt;p>Con más de 10 años de experiencia en IT , me desempeño como DevOps en una destacada empresa de Telecomunicaciones, donde mi enfoque principal es la Observabilidad.
