  description: |
    I am a Machine Learning Engineer at Zetalabs S.L. (Spain) and I also collaborate as a Digital Sherpa for the national education program "Innovacción Virtual" with Microsoft Mexico.
    
    I've worked as a Python Dev at CloudLinux and served as a research assistant in applied AI at the Mathematics Research Center (CIMAT), part of the National Consortium of Science and Technology (CONACYT) in Mexico. 
    
    I participated in a research project during a summer internship (2017) at the Aspuru-Guzik Research Group, in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University, working with applied machine learning for molecular properties prediction and calibration. 
    
    I am (currently) a Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning.
