At first I was not sure what I was going to write here. The first thing I wrote, however, is that I'm okay now. I'm swimming at least three times per week, I get to meet friends at least once per week. I learn stuff every day. I get to love others and I'm being loved every day.
What I am working on
I'm currently working as a software developer in the Center for the Advanced Research on Education or (CIAE). I'm doing mostly backend development, but we are working in interesting projects!
- We are teaching Data Science and Advanced Analytics to people from the public sector. It's challenging but I'm having a lot of fun doing it.
- We are finishing the development of a web application that gathers data and displays visualizations and custom metrics about the education sector at a block level. It will be used across the country and we hope it will help decision makers face important problems more efficiently.
- We are building a data pipeline that will allow us to grow for the future.
What I am learning
I'm not very well disciplined with my reading, but here is what I am reading and learning at the moment:
- I started the Data Engineering Path in dataquest. I'm just getting started but I liked the technical depth of their contents!
- I'm reading this book from this site on Multiagent Systems. They can be used to design smart IoT architectures, or coordinate renewable energy generation, and even to simulate human behaviour to reach consensus on how colours should be named!.
- I am also reading Cesar Hidalgo's book about why information grows. I attended to a presentation he did during the launch of DataChile and it was really powerful.
The future
Next year will be fun. I will move to Barcelona with my girlfriend and I will start a Master in Research in Informatics in the Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya. I'm really excited about it!
