About

With a deep love for mathematics and algorithms, I love to embrace every challenge that requires intense brainstorming and problem-solving skills.

Isagi

Operations Research Scientist, Coder & Developer.


I'm an Operations Research Scientist at Lyric, where I write code to make supply-chain operations faster and more reliable using linear programming and algorithms. I recently completed my Master's in Computer Science at CMI, graduating with a Medal of Excellence.

Most of my journey has run through open source — Google Summer of Code with Mathesar ('23) and omegaUp ('24), now a mentor, and Summer of Bitcoin ('25) building on Braidpool. I also spent a summer at the National University of Singapore researching parameterized algorithms. I compete on Codeforces (currently an Expert :3); my favourite subjects are computer science, mathematics and physics.

Besides, I love to embrace the most beautiful game, football, on and off the field. My favourite club? - always Real Madrid. Most of my pastimes I spend watching soccer, anime and reading Manga.

You might get to know me better if you go through my linkedin profile or the blogs I have written so far (or will be writing). If you need any help and think I might help you, please reach out to me.
