What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to AI, machine learning, cloud, or robotics projects where I can build practical systems, deepen my engineering skills, and work with multidisciplinary teams.

I'm pursuing a Computer Engineering degree at Universidad de la República while building AI systems, cloud backends, and robotics projects.

At Santander Open Academy's Innovation and AI Experience, I helped win the Final Pitch Challenge with an AI solution for redistributing blood donations across healthcare centers in Brasília.

My thesis explores how memory tokens and context compression affect information retention in large language models, using sequence reconstruction and semantic analysis experiments.

I've also built a ROS2-controlled LEGO robot, a YouTube AI summarization pipeline with Google Cloud Functions and Vertex AI, and a calendar synchronization app with Qubika using React, Node.js, REST APIs, and OAuth 2.0.
