2024 May-August

At Artu, a startup focused on monitoring Mexican government publications. My responsibilities spanned both front-end and back-end development, ensuring a seamless user experience and robust system architecture. Additionally, I developed a machine learning algorithm that accurately predicts the relevance of government publications, significantly enhancing the platform's value to its users. During my time there, we were accepted into the highly selective Platanus accelerator program, which has an acceptance rate of just 2%.

Exploring psychiatric disorders

In this study, an EEG dataset comprising approximately 1,000 attributes was utilized to identify psychiatric disorders. The primary objective was twofold: to determine whether the mind was healthy and, if not, to identify the specific psychiatric disorder present. Psychiatric disorders encompass a wide range of conditions, including depression, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addictive behaviors, all of which significantly impact an individual's thinking, mood, and behavior.

Predicting Drug Sensitivity in Cancer Cell Lines Using Deep Learning

This study leverages deep learning to predict the natural logarithm of the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (LN_IC50) for various anti-cancer drugs based on the genomic features of cancer cell lines. Utilizing the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) dataset, the research aims to explore the relationship between genetic markers and drug response, contributing to the field of personalized medicine and therapeutic biomarker discovery.

My most prominent skills

My approach

Planning & Strategy

We'll collaborate to map out your website's goals, target audience, and key functionalities. We'll discuss things like site structure, navigation, and content requirements.

Development & Progress Update

Once we agree on the plan, I cue my lofi playlist and dive into coding. From initial sketches to polished code, I keep you updated every step of the way.

Development & Launch

This is where the magic happens! Based on the approved design, I'll translate everything into functional code, building your website from the ground up.
