Bio
SIGGRAPH 2022
Born in Peru, I lived most of my life in Venezuela where I graduated as a computer engineer and obtained a MSc in computer sciences from the University Simon Bolivar. My PhD was done at the University of the Balearic Islands in Spain, where my main field of research was affective computing. Currently, I am CGI-development chapter lead at Mackevision — Part of Accenture Interactive in Stuttgart, Germany, where I am in charge of the organizational agility of our software development department. My volunteer journey with SIGGRAPH and ACM SIGGRAPH started in 2007 as Student Volunteer, where I went on to serve as Team Leader. I also have been ACM SIGGRAPH International Resources Committee (IRC) Chair, External Relations Committee Chair, and an active member of the ACM SIGGRAPH Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.
