Computer Science & Math
I have written over 300 movie reviews that are written in both Spanish and English.
I am a Computer Science and Mathematics student at Duke University. Some of my academic passions include algorithmic trading and consumer apps. One of my future goals is that I want to use my knowledge to help underdeveloped areas develop a better education and financial system using cutting-edge tools such as a decentralized blockchain network and personalized AI tutors. I have seen the disparity in these areas firsthand as most of my family lives in Venezuela. I have worked on various Computer Science projects such as a fully functional social media website (GuysRateThings.com), a Recidivism Predictor algorithm (using a neural network), and I coded the Arduino for Palmer Trinity’s Garden in a box Growing beyond Earth submission. The past summers I worked as a Software Engineer for a nonprofit and Altimetric, and now transitioned into more Software business development roles at First Eagle and will be working at Jane Street in the upcoming summer. During my time at Duke, I worked as a teaching assistant for Intro to Algorithms and Data Structures and Everything Data to fulfill my passion for teaching. Outside of academics, I am interested in soccer, movies, and puzzles.
I love the collaborative environment Duke fosters. Everyone wants to see each other grow as an academic and as an individual. I have been offered help by multiple upperclassmen right after I have met them. SPIRE enhances that quality and provides a community of like-minded individuals who support each other through common obstacles.
