About

I focus on turning complex technologies into real, working solutions.With over 20 years of experience across audiovisual production, UAV systems and advanced air mobility, I bring a practical approach that connects engineering, operations and business.I started my career in international film, TV and advertising productions as a technical director. I later founded Skycam, a leading aerial cinematography company in Spain.That foundation led me into the UAV and advanced air mobility industry, where I have worked on technology development and project leadership in companies such as UMILES and CRISALION.Today, I’m building Nexial Lab, focused on helping companies define, structure and execute technology solutions in:• UAV systems and aerial solutions• Artificial intelligence applications• Sensors and imaging systems• Product definition and technology strategy• Project execution and technical leadershipI don’t work from theory, but from real experience in complex projects and demanding environments.I focus on what actually works.If you’re working on complex technology challenges and need clarity on how to move forward, feel free to reach out.
