Hi! I'm Pau and this is my portfolio.

I am currently working as a Creative Technologist at the innovation agency Wildbytes, in Barcelona. Previously, as an Associate Professor and Researcher at the Engineering Department of La Salle - Universitat Ramon Llull. I am a Multimedia Engineer and hold an MSc in Intelligent Interactive Systems, and also have work experience in the areas of web development and programming. I am based in Barcelona with international working experience, such as in UK, India and Malaysia.

I consider myself a responsible and creative person, eager to contribute with new ideas and participate in their execution. From a technical point of view I am interested in the development of technologies such as Computer Vision or Artificial Intelligence, complemented with a good design and visual impact. I believe that effectively combining technology and design is a key success factor for any project.

The development of these new technologies will and is having a huge impact in society and I want to be part of that process, because I believe that it can improve people's lives in many ways.

Below you will find the most outstanding projects that I have developed individually or in group during my professional and student career. You can also check my work as a professor in this section.

As a professor...

... i've been mostly teaching courses related to interaction design, project development, and product prototyping. In these, the students had to take a specific role in a group to design and implement a technological product or an interactive installation by using their interdisciplinary skills.
Some of the lessons included how to use a Raspberry Pi, electronics, programming, 3d printing, prototyping, user testing, and organizational methods, among others. But most of the time was dedicated to putting into practice this knowledge, implementing and mentoring their projects. Their efforts and motivation led to several high-quality products, some of which are shown below.
