What are you most passionate about in relation to your work?
What I’m most passionate about is the relationship with customers, and being able to provide them with the best technical support or advice. An also, being a part of the testing team, I love to know that we will deliver our clients a solid, professional and high-quality product.

What is a normal workday like for you?
A normal workday begins with making quotations, invoices and contracts.
Once I’m done with those tasks, I solve client issues, which may be technical or methodological in nature. These tasks are combined with the development of testing protocols for the software that we create.

If I weren’t working in bioinformatics, I would have liked to work as a translator and interpreter, since I have a knack for languages.
What are your hobbies outside of work?
I like going for a stroll with my family along the beach or in parks, such as the course of the Turia River. I also like doing sports as a family, and especially biking, practising tae-kwon-do and swimming.
