Hi, I'm Marc Requena,Computational Engineer specialising in systems, data and audiovisual.
Contact meABOUT ME
From an early age, I have been interested in technology and human development, particularly in how digital systems can improve the way people work and achieve their goals. In an environment dominated by digitalization and entertainment, I learned to filter technology by its real impact: not everything new creates value. My approach focuses on designing solutions where technical innovation has a clear and measurable application. My purpose is to create efficient digital systems that help optimize processes and handle data correctly. I work in areas such as automation, systems design, and signal processing, always aiming to deliver clarity, efficiency, and tangible results. In the long run I want to apply this at a scale where it shows: systems that improve services many people rely on. I come to it from the audiovisual side, which is my technical specialisation, and from a particular way of working: before building anything, I picture where it could fail. Live broadcast gives you no second chance, and that forces you to design systems around what can go wrong.

TECHNICAL SKILLS
My Approach
My approach focuses on the design and implementation of efficient, scalable systems, combining a strong foundation in computing and signal processing with a practical, real-world view of technology. I treat data management as a core pillar to ensure coherent, traceable, and actionable flows, on top of which I build automations that reduce operational load and improve process efficiency. My professional experience has allowed me to develop solid judgement in systems design and project management, contributing critical thinking and leadership skills to coordinate resources, prioritize tasks, and make technical decisions aligned with concrete, measurable objectives.
Interests: data acquisition systems, physics-inspired AI, low-latency controls and signal decoding.

MY PROJECTS
Final thesis — AKOrN for musical audio generation
Adapting Artificial Kuramoto Oscillatory Neurons (AKOrN) to the musical audio domain: given a fundamental frequency and an instrument identifier, the model generates a waveform with the corresponding timbre. The hypothesis is that a coupled-oscillator architecture, structurally akin to harmonic signals, can be more computationally efficient than the industry's standard architectures. In progress.

LineWise — Damm x Ehub
Decision-support system for planning Damm's canning lines: it contrasts theoretical planning with what actually happened, enforces the plant's physical constraints, flags problematic transitions between products and predicts weekly OEE. Optimisation with OR-Tools and gradient boosting models for prediction.
