I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics in 2011, and my Master's degree in Computer Science in 2013 from Texas State University. My research during these years focused on High Performance Computing, Parallel Programming, and energy-efficient
software algorithm design.
I'm originally from Guatemala but I lived in Texas for about 15 years. In my free time I enjoy playing the drums and listening to music while reading a sci-fi book.

Advisor: Dr. Ziliang Zong, Texas State University-San Marcos
I was a graduate research assitant in Dr. Ziliang Zong's research group. Our goal was to profile and further improve the energy efficiency of High-Performance Computers, as well as codes running on manycore architectures using the OpenMP and MPI programming libraries. I was particualrly working on measuring and power-profiling large-scale scientific CPU and GPU applications such as N-Body star cluster simulators.
using Google API
I implemented a very straight forward instant search engine using Google's Search API. This program consists of HTML/JavaScript/JQuery code and can be found here. [This API is currently unavailable]
Datamining concept implementation
This programs implements the commonly used K-Means cluster analysis algorithm. This code is implemented in C++ and is available here.
