Hi, I'm Javi GG

Instituto de Telecomunicações

Working as a research engineer in the SMURF4EU project to develop a sovereign European suite of Multimodal Reasoning Foundation Models, leveraging 1.9M GPU-hours via EuroHPC Extreme Scale Access to build open-source, long-context systems across 24 EU languages.

Barcelona Supercomputing Center

Research engineer in the Language Technologies Group, contributing to European and national initiatives including Eloquence, ALIA, ILENIA, and AINA. Developed multilingual LLM-based neural machine translation models such as SalamandraTA-2b-instruct, SalamandraTA-7b-instruct, and Plume; worked on low-resource machine translation; and trained LLMs in multi-node distributed environments using DeepSpeed, NeMo, and Megatron.

MT@UPC (Machine Translation Group at UPC)

Worked on the Spanish national ROB-IN project, whose goal was to create a robot for continuous personalized assistance with self-explanatory capabilities. Contributed to the Natural Language Processing component of the system.

Department of Applied Statistics at UPV

Worked mainly as a data scientist, handling data collection, processing, analysis, and the application of machine learning techniques.
