I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Virginia advised by Prof. Vicente Ordóñez Román, working on computer vision and language. I received my B.S. in Engineering at the Tecnológico de Costa Rica. Previously I spent 10 years working as a Software Engineer at different Tech Companies.
