About me

Nicolás Aller Ponte

I'm a Data Science & Engineering student at Universidade da Coruña and Research Assistant at the Inditex-UDC AI Chair in Green Algorithms, where I develop feature-selection systems for AI models. I've also worked as an AI Engineer at Gradiant, building computer vision pipelines for car damage detection.

My stack spans the full data lifecycle — from HPC and parallel computing (C/C++, CUDA, MPI) to deep learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow), data engineering (Spark, SQL, Docker, AWS/GCP), and NLP/Computer Vision.
