Develop and adapt solutions to be used to help businesses manage their information.Research and develop new technologies for information management, as well as other topics such as machine learning and computer vision.

• Project engineer at RiskAmerica. This company provides on-line financial riskmanagement services. My main duties are:
• Design a new version of the entire system from scratch using several open sourcesoftware solutions.
• Manage a group of software engineers to implement the new version of the system.
• Install and configure different open source web applications for monitoring keyaspects of the system as well as for project management.
• Organization of code and development environments using SVN, virtual machines,testing, and written procedures

• Adjunct instructor for the course development of applications for mobile phones at PUC.This university is located in Santiago, Chile.
• In this course, I treat the mobile phone as a rich platform for software development.
• Some of the lessons I teach are Internet networking using GPRS/EDGE/3G/Wi-Ficonnectivity, web services such as maps APIs, image processing using the built-incamera, and local networking using bluetooth technology.

• Research engineer for a research and development project in human detection andtracking using image processing techniques at the Machine Intelligence Group (GRIMA)at PUC. More details can be found in.
• Implement and evaluate current algorithms for human detection and tracking in C++using the OpenCV library.
• Review research papers for obtaining new ideas for algorithms.
• Evaluate the performance of our latest implementations of the algorithms.
• Train our system with machine learning methodologies.
• Develop interfaces to the implementations.

• Lead developer at amnesiagames. This company produces mobile applications andgames. This was a specific project for research on novel usages of sensors embeddedin modern mobile phones as well as new user interfaces.
• Explore the new features provided by Qt SDK for Nokia devices.
• Report novel possible uses of mobile sensors such as the camera, accelerometer, GPS,microphone, magnetometer, etc.
• Implement an application that uses kinetic scrolling and live feeds from the Internet. This application was successfully published in Ovi Store. It is called SportsFeed.

• Software engineer at Digisensory Technologies in Sydney, Australia.This company produces smart IP cameras for intelligent surveillance applications. Moredetails can be found in www.digisensory.com.My main duties were:
• Implementation of real time computer vision algorithms directly from research papersusing OpenCV in C++.
• Research for new people detection and tracking algorithms in papers.
• Design and implement a cross-platform GUI for viewing and controlling our smart IPcameras using Qt SDK.
• Determine the needed lenses and camera positioning for specific applications giventhe constraints of the environment.
• Define and run testing procedures for our algorithms.

I worked here as a contractor for developing automated reports for a financial institution.

My main goal was to design and implement a music based mobile phone game. My tasks included research about music formats supported in the current mobile phones and an implementation of a first version of the game.

• I was part of the team of university students who realized a project for the government ofChile for teaching more science to school students using practical examples. My maintasks were:
• Teach the students how to program a micro-controller using assembly language withMicrochip MPLAB software.
• Prepare the material to be taught in my programming classes.
• Coordinate with other team members for producing a general learning experience forthe students. The project involved integrating electrical, computational andmechanical skills of different people.
• Evaluate the performance of the groups of students based on the quality of their project.
