About me

In [1]:

import about_me

I am a Software Developer, Data Scientist and Quantitative Analyst from Córdoba, Argentina.

My main focus of interests is Data Science, Finance, Education, Data Visualization and the Jupyter ecosystem.

To give you a little bit more of context, I am originally a Biochemist that because of life, started to write code around 8 years ago.

During all these years, I have made meaningful contributions to several popular Open Source projects such as:

Jupyter (core developer and Steering Council member)
Nikola (administrator and contributor)
Bokeh (contributor)

Additionally, I have also started several projects being RISE (a "live" slideshow for the Jupyter Notebook) the most popular one.

I use to write some technical stuff on this blog (I also write a little bit of non-technical stuff, but you can filter out those with the tags if you are not interested on those topics).

Moreover, you can find a lot of my talks and tutorials in Youtube, but let me hightlight two recent ones I really like ;-)

Recently, I started to explore diverse and multiple ways to fund my contributions to the Open Source world, so if you want to support my work, please visit these pages:

https://damianavila.github.io/blog/stories/support-me.html (Damian-specific funding for exploring new ideas)
https://rise.readthedocs.io/en/stable/support.html (RISE-specific funding)

OK, I think this is all for now.

I hope you enjoy my site!

Best,
