About me

I come from ...

I was born in the south of Chile. I grew up in San Carlos, a little town close to my hometown Chillán. For undergrad, I moved to Santiago, the metropolis of my country. That new scenario presented challenges and opportunities I had never faced before.


My background is in computer science and machine learning. I am an engineering and got my Masters of Science degree in machine learning from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.


Currently, I live in Cambridge aiming to accomplish a Ph.D. at MIT.


Update: moving to Seattle in Summer 2025!

I am ...

If we spend most of our time complaining, we won't have time for enjoying the great things around us. Life has taught me to smile at everything. 


I am a very enthusiastic and optimistic person. Commitment, focus, and responsibility with my dreams are my biggest strengths.


I firmly believe that the better people we are, the more we receive from the rest.

I love ...

I love my mother, siblings, and friends. They make who I am.


I love people. I love the fact they can laugh. I strongly believe that, from a tech approach, I can help voiceless people by giving them reasons to smile.


My favorites hobbies are by far playing and watching sports. I like biking, going out with friends and spending time on my personal computer.

Love you!

No words to describe all things my family has gone through with an smile in our faces. Fan #1 of each of you.
