Professional Experience
Projects
This is a list of open source projects I have uploaded into github:
Extended-Alphabet Finite-Context Models (xaFCM) - Python implementation of extended-alphabet finite-context models.
Derivative Lloyd-Max based quantizer - Python class that performs the Lloyd-Max based quantization after applying the first order derivative to a signal.
Metal vs Pop - R Project to distinguish between Metal songs and Pop songs, based in text lyrics.
AZLyrics Downloader - Python project to download all available lyrics from a list of inserted artists. Saves each of the lyrics fetched from the website on a different .txt file.
