01 / about
I'm a Computer Science student at Tecnológico de Monterrey, originally from Mexico City.
My research interests include machine learning and cybersecurity. I'm inclined toward a career in research and academia, and after my degree I plan to pursue a PhD abroad.
I enjoy building projects and understanding how systems work. I'm a strong advocate for free and open source software and privacy. Outside of CS, I play guitar, love music and enjoy time in nature.
