hi, I'm Elena
I am a Product Builder. I enjoy solving problems using software and product thinking.
about me
Based in Madrid, but originally from Lanzarote (Canary Islands). I studied Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering at UPM and later got a Master's degree in Big Data at 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.
