Hola! I am a computer scientist who is passionate about the interplay between mathematical theory of intelligent systems, computational algorithms and their applications to real-world problems. I have experience in both academic computer science and practical engineering.

I completed a MS in Computer Science at the wonderful CIMAT (Mexico) where I conducted research in stochastic optimization advised by Dr. Arturo Hernandez. I did an internship working with Dr. John McCall in probabilistic modeling for optimization and machine learning. I received my BS degree in Computer Engineering from Instituto Tecnologico de Veracruz (Mexico) advised by Dr. Rafael Rivera. I completed my BS thesis in the CIMAT undergraduate research thesis program.

Amazed to explore how basic research is transformed into technology I started my professional career in the financial industry as a quant developer, after that, I worked at Microsoft as a data science engineer.

I’m proudly and also interested in contribuiting to diversity and visibility efforts in STEM communities.

Feel free to reach out!
