Where I am now
I am finishing high school in the TIC specialization at ORT in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I like working in places where academic discipline meets real execution: hackathons, product ideas, and systems that need to actually work.

About
Hands-on technical depth.
I am a final-year TIC student at ORT Buenos Aires, with a 9.0 GPA and a portfolio shaped by competitions, systems work, and applied AI.
How I build
I am especially interested in the bridge between low-level system design in C++ and high-level AI integration: from memory-aware architecture to autonomous workflows, LLM-powered applications, deep learning with Keras and TensorFlow, and the math needed to implement neural networks from first principles and turn that theory into code.
