Inception

My story inside computing field began at my childhood with Tzar: my first bug-fix at this amazing game just to continue the main campaign. Why not? Perform reverse engineering of sourcecode to eventually discover the issue at a function call seemed reasonable to me.

Later, I got catch by games like Imperium II and III that also exposed code through its MapEditor. Thus, design custom maps with complex rules and triggers was a marvelous hobby. I could say that this hobby raise up my passion for computers, but sadly, it also died along with my laptop, losing several maps and stories.

Like a "time after time" history, computer science reached me several times. Linux is an excelent example. I love "old" Ubuntu (not Unity) and always wear an USB with a home-made read-only Debian distro.

Eventually it became in my profession, with a 5 years Bachellor Science in Computer Science (Licenciatura en Ingeniería Informática) and a Master in Computer Vision.

What I Like ?

Robotics is one of my passions. At B.S, I was allowed to do some additional subjects that were part of others B.S. Two of them were about robotics.
I have a large experience in this field, with robotics frameworks like ROS, JdeRobot and BICA. I played with Lego's NTX, Nao humanoid from Aldebaran and ArDrone of Parrot.

Computer Vision is another field that I like. Nevertheless, vision is the most important sense, at least for humans. Extract information from images. Track persons. Is quite fun.

Going back to genetic terms, I like to design architectures, it's one of my best skills and almost a hobby.

Objective

Upgrade my professional skills, work together others professionals and mates, enjoying each design decision. Get involved in an organization that believes in gaining a competitive edge and giving back to the community.
