Project Name: Bridge scour monitoring and forecast - Implementation of an AI early warning systemDescription:Bridge scour has been a challenge across the world (accounts for 60% of bridge collapses in the US for example). Throughout the past decade, remote scour monitoring programs have been devised and implemented by transport authorities to facilitate bridge management. This research aims to develop cutting edge AI/ML algorithms based on real-time scour monitoring data to generate… Show more Project Name: Bridge scour monitoring and forecast - Implementation of an AI early warning systemDescription:Bridge scour has been a challenge across the world (accounts for 60% of bridge collapses in the US for example). Throughout the past decade, remote scour monitoring programs have been devised and implemented by transport authorities to facilitate bridge management. This research aims to develop cutting edge AI/ML algorithms based on real-time scour monitoring data to generate early warning systems to forecast scour depth at bridge piers.My responsibilities:Optimization of hyper-parameters of the model, software implementation, presentation of results in academic papers.

The Internet of Things will lead to the Internet of Me. Billions of smart devices connected to the Internet record people’s lives. Companies wish to provide highly personalised services that engage their customers, while individuals wish to understand their health, lifestyle, education and personal performance. The challenge is to analyse individuals’ personal data, and discover how they differentiate from and overlap with others’. This project expects to enable businesses to deepen customer satisfaction and individuals to better understand their personal place in a connected world.My responsilities:Research question, experiments design, methodology, software implementation, analysis and presentation of results in academic papers.

In this subject, students will obtain a deep understanding of the concepts behind database management systems. In particular, the students will become familiar with the database system architecture, and will exercise the concepts such as query processing and optimisation, database tuning and transactions, which are the foundation of any modern data processing application. This subject is core within the Bachelor of Science for the Major of Computing and Software Systems and the Major of Informatics. Students completing the Diploma of Informatics are also required to undertake this subject. Show less

Topics covered include complexity classes and asymptotic notation; empirical analysis of algorithms; abstract data types including queues, trees, priority queues and graphs; algorithmic techniques including brute force, divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming and greedy approaches; space and time trade-offs; and the theoretical limits of algorithm power.

Create innovative software apps and prototypes. In fact, I created three:(a) RFAnalysis which is a suite comprised by an Android app, a Business Intelligence module hosted in Microsoft PowerBI.com, and a handy Statistical graphical module built in R. This suite is oriented to measure cellular service quality from the end-user perspective and present some very useful insights. (b) Picale (this is its Spanish name, "Poke" would be in English.)

It is an Android app with which [running | biking | walking] competitors can have lots of fun. It is not like any other fitness app out there.(c) Skin filter which is a pattern recognition app built in Python. Based on a statistical model (and also on existing papers.) It discovers skin on images. Nothing quite new but we wanted to give it more applications. Show less

I developed its Windows Forms back-office application with C# and WCF.Then, I was coding for the most important retail company in my country ("La Favorita" Corporation.) My responsibilities were coding a small module on Java Struts and the Spring framework.After, I was in charge of a Business Process Management (BPM) integration between the BPM engine (Polymita) and the bank core through Java web services. This was made for a governmental financial institution.- Project Manager:I came back to "La Favorita" and was in charge of 7 projects. I supervised planning, software architecture and milestone fulfillment. Show less

We created two handy financial software applications.(a) BS Business Software which was built in PowerBuilder 10. It is a financial suite which includes the following modules: accounting, cash, points of sale (POS) and inventory.(b) XIMA which was built using C# and ASP.net. It complements BS Business Software and includes modules such as: loans and saving accounts.
