GitHub Sponsors Profile

I'm Ricardo, biology student and founder of Include Poetry. I make educational contents about science and competitive programing as well as customized software for biology research.

About me
I study biology and mainly neurophysiology, I love the brain things. I'm also a competitive programmer, I have participated on different contests like the Mexican Olympiad on Informatics where I won a silver medal, and on ICPC where my team has been two times regional finalist. I also teach about competitive programming, math and general sciences and have taught free courses on different places on Mexico and for different schools and organizations.
On the other hand, I have contributed on several biological research projects, about depression, chronic fatigue and autism, from behavioral, molecular, anatomic and electrophysiological perspectives. I have presented my work on national congresses and about to publish my first researches on peer-reviwed scientific magazines.
Why sponsor me
By sponsoring me you're sponsoring an active teacher and developer of open source software for biological research. My work on Include Poetry has helped many students on their journeys to become high level programmers and objective scientists. With your sponsorship I'll be able to keep my work on Include Poetry and to keep making new and better tools for biological research. You'll also be helping with my own mental health by allowing me to take more time to self care.
About my code work
Competitive Programing
I created Include Poetry as an effort to teach about Competitive Programming for free and create an easy to follow material for learning real programming languages like C/C++ and simulated programing languages like Karel and to apply that knowledge on real programming contests.
Science
I have developed tools to simplify different tasks on biological research, from creating effective oligonucleotide sequences for PCR, to recreate the path that a mouse makes on a behavioral test. I create tools for quantifying behavioral tests, analyzing data and model neuron interactions.
More educational material
On Include Poetry there's also material about different biological topics, everything with references and with different examples and multimedia resources.
About sponsoring me
You can stop sponsoring me anytime you want, no explanations needed and guilt free. Any sponsorship it's very welcome and for sure will keep me motivated to continue developing more and more content and tools. By the way, if you decide to sponsor me, you can choose any of the benefits from a lower sponsorship level besides the one you're choosing.
