Hi, I'm Ignacio,

AI/ML Engineer
I turn data into decisions a team can use.

Research→productionComplex domainsCronolixLinkedIn

I run Cronolix, where I build a football scouting platform end to end, from the raw data pipeline to the product people use. And at the University of Zaragoza I research computer vision and machine learning for a medical device: the rigor I bring to everything I build.

Curious, end-to-end, hands-on.

Hard problems. Real users.

Let's build something that matters.

Cronolix

Live product

Cronolix is a football scouting platform: raw data to player scoring by role and league to the scout report, built end to end.

ColonMatcher

Proprietary · Medical device

My matcher for the EndoCartoScope SLAM: a self-supervised method that trains a deep learning matcher (LightGlue) without ground truth, validated on clinical data. Paper on the way.

CudaSift-py-wrapper

Open source · My fork

I forked CudaSift to keep the strongest keypoints by score (not by detection order), with a per-octave cap and a Python wrapper (pybind11).

IG Parser

Open source · My fork

I adapted the open-source IG Parser to batch-process institutional statements at scale, as part of the Resilient Rules project.

Experience

What ties my path together isn't a domain, it's a way of working: learn a new field fast, get my hands into the real, messy data, and build something that actually works. I have done it in medical imaging, sports analytics, omics, agriculture, and robotics.

Computer Vision Engineer

2025 – Present · Zaragoza, Spain

Implemented a new self-supervised training method coined ColonMatcher. Validated on clinical data and, as a result, extended SLAM mapping from a few seconds to a full 5-minute colon reconstruction.

Bioengineering Consultant

2024 – Present · Zaragoza, Spain

Evaluated ~20 R&D and AI projects bidding for public and private funding (Horizon Europe and other calls).

Software Developer

2023 – 2024 · Zaragoza, Spain · research stay at Syracuse University (USA)

I adapted the open-source IG Parser for batch processing; it coded ~10,000 institutional statements from 200 interviews across 60 countries. Research stay at Syracuse.

Research Assistant

2023 · Seville, Spain

Built a ~50-producer database and ran the statistical study for the EU FARMERS project (JRC) on digital agriculture, with the statistical analysis in R. Published as a thesis and a book chapter.

Software Developer

2022 · California, USA

Early retrieval-augmented system over electronic medical records (a precursor to RAG), helping support staff and physicians find answers faster.

Head of Biomedical Engineering

2020 – 2021 · Buenos Aires, Argentina

Headed a biomedical engineering team: 3,000+ medical devices across 50 departments, plus equipment-registry and resource optimization.

Product Development Researcher

2017 – 2019 · Buenos Aires, Argentina

Built the first prototype that scaled the bioreactors up to 50× in laminar flow.

Education

2025 · University of Zaragoza

M.Eng. in Robotics, Graphics and Computer Vision

Let's build something

I'm open to AI/ML engineer roles — computer vision, machine learning, or AI systems — where I can take problems from research to production. If you have a hard problem and a real user, let's talk.
