About me

I was born in La Paz, Bolivia and lived there for 7 years until my family decided to move to the states. We ended up settling in Rockville, Maryland (close to D.C. where my father works). I have lived there until coming to Duke. I am a freshman student currently in Trinity but I may switch into the Pratt School of Engineering. I am interested in majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Interests

I love to play soccer and swim. I also like latin dancing and I'm on Duke's Sabrosura group. I am usually very active playing all kinds of sports but I do also love to stay indoors and play FIFA.

Music

While I'm doing HW I need something to keep me energized and I listen to several music genres. I love listening to hip-hip and rap. I like artists like ASAP mob, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, and the list goes on

I am also an admirer of dubstep. I like Knife party, excision, skrillex, a-trak, bingo players, hardwell, etc.

Favorite Demo

My favorite demo was the minesweeper game because it shows how Matlab can be used for generating games and not only strictly mathematical equations.
