Who am I? 🤓
tldr;
I'm a Senior Software Engineer 🤖, Data Scientist 🧑‍🔬 and human being 🤓 🎸 🎹 🧗🏼 🎨 from Bucaramanga 🐜 , Colombia 🇨🇴 living in Bogotá, Colombia 🇨🇴.
A bit more detail...
I am actually (at least originally) a Civil Engineer with an MSc. in Hydroinformatics and an MSc. in Sanitary Engineering that discovered a passion for Software Development and Data Science which led me to collaborate in different open source projects and to eventually join Anaconda, Inc (formerly known as Continuum Analytics). I then continued my journey and joined Quansight, Inc, where I worked in open source and helped build communities. I work with Python 🐍 and TypeScript and recently Rust.
