Life as a Street Kid

During my teen years, I spent several years of my life on the streets of el salvador, while the country was in full civil war. It was a very difficult time, but I managed to leave the streets when I was like 18 years old.

Music

I started to learn -on my own- to play guitar when I moved to Vienna in December 2001. Eventually, I started to make my own melodies.

IBM Watson

I have successfully implemented Watson APIs within the Phaidra Analytics platform for real time information enrichment of digital objects stored in a repository. I am invited to Keynote this integration in an upcoming Metadata Conference in June here at the University of Vienna and probably in Semantics Leipzig in September this year. IBM has expressed interest on this work as well.

2 Articles I wrote about Watson (April 2016, LinkedIn):
