Ruben Gomez
Mathematician & Blockchain Expert & Developer
Intro
What I am all about.
My name is Ruben, I am a mathematician with a strong interest in computer science and cutting-edge technologies. At age 19, I led a blockchain project to record and certify COVID-19 regulations for the automobile industry, specifically the renting and leasing sector. Prior to that, I worked on mathematical algorithmic arbitrage trading of cryptocurrencies and their computing power for profit.
I am the founder and director of PowerPool Mining SL, a cryptocurrency mining company with over $30M in revenue. I also serve as the project lead at Lokotech AS, a hardware manufacturer for crypto mining, where I design and oversee the development of advanced systems for efficient, large-scale mining operations.
In addition to being a programmer and mathematician who thrives on challenges and innovation, I speak four languages fluently: Spanish, Italian, English, and Catalan. I maintain a highly active lifestyle, to stay sharp and bring my best to both profesional and personal pursuits. Having lived in two countries and three different cities, I’ve developed the ability to adapt quickly, perform under change, and remain agile in any environment.
Expertise
Batman would be jealous.
01
Advanced Mathematics
Mathematics on its own is just a tool, but a good mathematics background with experience applying it makes a powerful skill, not only being able to compute things and make simulations, but understanding models and regressions to make predictions quickly and accurately
02
Crypto Expertise
As founder and director of PowerPool Mining SL, a cryptocurrency mining company generating over $30M in revenue, and project lead at Lokotech AS, I have extensive experience in blockchain technologies, crypto mining infrastructure, and hardware design. From designing high-efficiency mining systems to developing innovative blockchain use cases, I bring a deep understanding of both the technical and economic aspects of the cryptocurrency space.
03
Technical mindset
Having extensively studied mathematics, physics and computation wire your brain to think in a technical perspective, being able to see issues throughout brainstorming phases to better define targets and possible challenges that we may encounter along the way is a key skill.
04
Multilingual
While knowing more than two languages is a normally a blessing, as it opens you to a world of people's perspectives, it can also be a curse as when you speak in a specific language, even if you are speaking it at a native level, your brain may inject a word in a different language into the conversation.

Education
Lazy isn't something I am.
2019 – 2023
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
Leganes, Spain
I always wanted to do something to do with computer science, I initially wanted to study programming, but since I learned programming on my own I thought it would not keep me very engaged and I would not enjoy studying it that much. In the last year of High School we were taught calculus, and I feel in love with the elegance of mathematics. That is when I knew my career would also need to include some form of math. Later that year I found this career and pursued to get a score high enough to get in.
2017 – 2019
American School of Madrid
International Baccalaureate
Pozuelo, Spain
After coming back to Spain having understood the international mindset, I set out to study the IB (International Baccalaureate). I graduated with 3 degrees, the Spanish EVAU, the American High School diploma and the IB diploma where I graduated with a 37/45.
2013 – 2017
International School of Monza
Secondary School
Monza, Italy
When we transferred to Italy I studied in the International school of Monza where I learned most of my English and Italian. In Monza is also where I got a taste of international communities and expanded my mind to new possibilities and perspectives.
