About me
I was born in Colombia and have been living in Montreal, Canada since 2007. I love reading self-growth books and learning new things. I am passionate about the wonders of machine learning technology and want to use it to make our planet a better place. In my free time, I play sports (ping-pong, skateboarding, snowboarding, basketball), I play music (drums, guitar) and I am currently learning chess and photography.
