This mobile application supports reporting and responding to life-threatening events like kidnapping, missing persons, or hazards. This application has enabled researchers from Exeter, Leeds, and Tecnológico de Monterrey universities to perform social research about decision-making under such circumstances. Users can report events and send audio and video materials about the incidents. It shows how dangerous a specific zone might be and provides a voting system to help make decisions when someone goes missing. I led the back end and database structure of the application.

The application was reported in TecReview and the Tecnológico de Monterrey web portal Conecta.

SiRASS is the information system developed and deployed for a Mexican university, the Autonomous University of Mexico City. This project was part of my social service at high school.

The system helped the university considerably reduce administration processes such as student time tracking for their social service reports and communicating effectively with their audience. After I built it mainly using Ruby on Rails and JavaScript, it was successfully deployed, and it is still is being used by the university.

Hycons is a multi-platform icon set initially developed for the KDE desktop environment but ported to macOS and Windows. This icon set was made the top icon set at kde-look.org. I designed each icon, walking through many iterations. Initially, every icon was crafted using Inkscape, but then I migrated them to Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

While working at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Labs, I made this web application prototype for a project. I designed it using Sketch and then InVision to make it interactive. The application itself was intended to assess investments on portfolio assets, driven by a machine learning algorithm that suggested which assets allocate more or fewer resources. Multiple scenarios of distributing assets were created, and, for each one, a value at risk (VAR) was predicted along with a net worth.

This website, built from scratch, was intended to showcase portfolio items and blog posts. I created it with HTML, CSS, and Jekyll as CMS. I used it as a personal blog focusing on technical writing about machine learning, computer science, and web development.

Movie Match is an iOS application published in the App Store. It lets you retrieve information about movies from the Rotten Tomatoes database. I created the UI from scratch, including the logo and all the development. It was programmed in Objective-C.
