About me

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.

This is currenly outdated as of Nov 2024, it will be updated soon!¶

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,
