Carlos Ram\u00edrez Su\u00e1rez, a Canterbury Christ Church University Software Engineering graduate and current MSc candidate in Data Science, Technology & Innovation at the University of Edinburgh, recently took centre stage at IBC 2025 in Amsterdam<\/a> – one of the world\u2019s premier media and technology events. With over 43,000 attendees and 1,300+ exhibitors, Carlos presented as part of the Future Tech programme, which spotlighted cutting-edge AI workflows and next-generation production tools.<\/p>\n\n\n

Representing his startup Ramblox<\/a>, Carlos introduced his two AI-powered platforms – MediaHub and ClipCraft – designed to simplify and accelerate media publishing. MediaHub predicts cross-platform performance and automates publishing across YouTube, Spotify and social media. Whilst ClipCraft transforms a single video into tailored clips for multiple platforms using AI-driven scene detection, captioning and formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos and his team are now running pilot programmes with broadcasters and digital networks, expanding integrations and offering secure deployment options for teams with strict data requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on his time at CCCU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carlos credits his BSc in Software Engineering for instilling the discipline needed to build production-grade systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe coursework and lecturers helped me move from \u2018cool demo\u2019 to reliable products that media teams can trust,\u201d he shares. His favourite memory? Final-year project presentations and late nights in the labs, turning ideas into working features\u2014a sense of community that\u2019s stayed with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos\u2019s advice for students entering tech and innovation is refreshingly practical: \u201cShip small, measurable wins early and keep a public portfolio. Most importantly, talk to users weekly -your code should solve a real workflow problem, not just pass a benchmark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From CCCU labs to the global stage at IBC, Carlos\u2019s journey is a testament to the power of curiosity, collaboration, and code that makes a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
