About 👋

Hi there! My name is Alex, and welcome to my personal site! I am thrilled to have you here and to share with you some of my work and achievements. Whether you are a potential connection, collaborator, or simply someone who is interested in what I do, I hope that this site will give you a comprehensive overview of my skills and expertise.

As an ML Engineer at Digitate, I work on developing innovative software solutions that empower businesses to make data-driven decisions. In this role, I get to work with customers and teammates from all over the world. This opportunity allows me to be part of a diverse team that fosters new perspectives to complex problems, which leads to greater creativity and innovation in the workplace.

Previously, as an intern at NASA Johnson Space Center 🚀, I had the opportunity to work on exciting projects that involved the development of cutting-edge software solutions focusing on humans living, working, and thriving in space. I have experience in Java, Python, JavaScript, and MySQL, and am skilled in both front-end and API development.

During my time at the University of Florida 🐊 and UT Austin 🤘, I honed my problem-solving skills and developed a passion for data and machine learning. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, traveling, and volunteering with local organizations in my community.

Interests 🌴

When I'm not working, I try to be outside as much as possible. You can regularly find me at the beach either in the water or slacklining between two palm trees. I also enjoy traveling with my girlfriend. We love to explore new places and experience different cultures together. We're always seeking out new adventures and making unforgettable memories.

I also enjoy spending time with a good book. Whether it's an inspiring biography, a thought-provoking work of non-fiction, or an old textbook to brush up on my technical skills, I find that reading is a wonderful way to expand my mind and explore new ideas. I always have a book on hand, and I'm always on the lookout for new recommendations.
