Computer Sciences Undergraduate
UNAM School Of Sciences
I am a software engineer given over Software Integration Solutions, Data Engineering (ETL/ELT pipelines), MLOps and Digital Signal Processing.
I work as a fellow researcher and brand owner at the Philosophy of Computing Research Group from UNAM, where I keep a research line on Ethics of Computing, while developing a Philosophy of Vocal Synthesis.
I also provide AI and Data Governance consultancy, I have worked with institutions like the Mexican Association of Commercial Announcers (AMELOC), National Copyright Institute (INDAUTOR), National Association of Actors (ANDA) and the Mexican Film Institute (IMCINE) to help them better understand the crossroads between computing and their activities, in order to tailor laws and internal regulations to modern times.
When not in front of the screen, I enjoy hiking to the woods, walking my dogs, dancing and drawing.
I'm actively seeking for exciting and fun opportunities to create value. If your organization is looking for a solution like the ones I use to work on, please contact me to discuss your initiative :)

Talk on Vocaloid Culture in Mexico City ft. Julio Vargas
Vocaloid Culture (or as I prefer to name it: Vocaism) is the activity where people use vocal synthesizers and signs associated with them (vocas) as interfaces to exchange narratives and artistic expressions through music. In the company of my friend the ethnomusicologist Julio Vargas, we delve into the state of art of this activity in Mexico City within the 1st Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Techno Anthropology at the ENAH, the most important anthropologic school in Latin America.

Awarded as COSMIC Method Certified Practitioner
I got a certification on The COSMIC Method (ISO/IEC 19761), the international standard for Software Sizing, is to say, a technique to measure how large a piece of software is and how much it should cost and take to build (quite the niche one, huh?) it's pretty useful to audit software projects. An article was published in my school pressroom.
