Alejandro S. - developer in Spain
Robotics and AI researcher, C++ and Python developer

I'm (almost, just a few weeks to graduate!) doctor in robotics. For most of my professional life I've researched new methods and algorithms for applying AI planning to robotics. In the world of deep learning, planning is not well-known, but it still has attractive applications, like recycling and healthcare assistance. I have a master in artificial intelligence too, so the new trends of AI are not alien to me. I've worked in many things: I've implemented machine learning algorithms, and engaged in bot competitions and other forms of competitive programming (CodinGame, HackerRank, Project Euler), which has allowed me to hone my programming skills. I consider myself to be specially prolific in C++ and Python, which are the languages I use the most in robotics. However, I don't see myself as a collection of languages and frameworks (React + Node.JS + Angular.JS + the whole 100 yards). I see myself as a programmer first, in the sense I like to figure out fast and performant algorithms for certain tasks, and I don't care about the language. I subscribe to Dijkstra's philosophy: "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes".
