Hi, I'm Elena 👋🏻
I'm a Product Builder. I do Full Stack Web Development and Product Management as a way of creating tools that solve people's problems and businesses' needs.
about me
Madrid based, originally from Lanzarote (Canary Islands). Studied Industrial Engineering (Electronics and Automation specialization) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and later got a Master's degree in Big Data at Universidad Pontificia Comillas (ICAI).
Always enjoyed building stuff and learning new things, I guess that's why I'm drawn to startups and entrepreneurship.
I love reading, cooking, and traveling. I also enjoy spending time with my loved ones and my dog, especially out in nature. Occasionally surfing… but honestly, not very good at it.
work
I started my career as a Business Consultant and transitioned into a Product Engineer role at a startup, where I've been able to combine my technical skills with my communication and leadership skills, finding that I love bringing products from idea to reality.
