I am 24 years old and currently a first year PhD Student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland. I graduated 2nd in my class in Computer Science at the Universidad Simon Bolivar in Venezuela. While being an undergrad, I wrote more than 8 web applications and specialized in Artificial Intelligence, Video Games and Robotics. I also participated in Robotics contests, winning the first prize at the Third Venezuelan IEEE Robotics Contest for Students and the second prize at the Sixth Latin American IEEE Robotics Contest for Students, held in Mexico in 2007.
After my graduation, I worked in several companies, taking care of database migrations and the creation of web applications. In my spare time, I joined a research group in databases, getting 4 papers published to this date, and also taught myself to write iPhone apps. To this date, I have had more than 12 iPhone apps on the App Store, 6 of which have been written for other clients.
Even though I am currently a PhD student, I work in campus teaching kids how to program the iPhone. My brain never ceases creating projects and having ideas for new products, most of which I have started on my own and published on the Internet, as experiments.
