My name is Diego Valcarce, I am from A Coruña, a medium sized city in the North of Spain, known for its Torre de Hercules and the local football team. It has many attractions and is one of the prettiest cities in the world. Period. It has the following pecularities:

Home to big-ass companies like Inditex, Denodo and Abanca, among others.
Has the largest sea walk of all Europe, with 15 km.
Has one of the biggest galleries in the world (main selling point of the city, realisticaly).
One of the densest cities of Europe.

As for myself, I am interested mainly in computers and I recently discovered my joy for electronics. I know a bit about databases and linux and like developing software, mainly at low level, but I work with whatever you throw at me. Currently, I am the VP of Engineering in a company called Innogando SL (titulitis, but I work my ass off) as a bit of everything, from firmware to data analysis. You can find a bit more of my work experience at the logs of my life.

3.1 Work experience

3.1.1 VP of Engineering @ Innogando SL

I started as a Data Scientist February 2023 and I currently hold the VP of Engineering position, due the hard work and the big achivements we have accomplished as the team we are.

Some of this wins were:

We had several problems of scalability due to a bad design of the database, so we decided to migrate everything to the based PostgreSQL, “The World’s Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database”. If you do not know yet, I am a fanatic of PostgreSQL.

3.1.2 Data Science intern @ Deus Iberia SL

I did my curriculum practicum in a Dutch company called Deus, working primarly with OCR. I did not enjoy much the practicum, but I think I learned a lot about how bad companies can work.

3.1.3 Research positions @ UDC

Since I started in collage, I worked for the university (Universidad de A Coruña), in multiple projects and disciplines. I can talk very well about some of my mentors like Marcos Gestal and Alejandro Puente Castro.

3.2 Education

I mainly have a BSc in Data Science and Engineering @ UDC. The university lacks formal education so I am not really proud of what I have been tought there, but there were some good teachers that worth to be mentioned, but that’s a story for other day.
