Abner Astete Hernández

I am a computer engineering student of Peruvian and Chilean origin, currently studying at the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Chile.

At the age of 17, I decided to move to Chile, where I am currently dedicated to my university studies.

During my time at university, I have been fortunate enough to explore various areas of computer science through work in software development, data analysis and data engineering. These experiences have allowed me to put the lessons learned into practice and broaden my skill set.

Currently, I am in the last semester of my computer engineering degree. I am doing an exchange at INSA Lyon, France. Where I have had the opportunity to improve my skills and gain a different perspective on my field of study. During my stay, I discovered that my interest is focused on the area of Data Engineering. The ability to make decisions based on the information gathered is truly fascinating to me.

I am currently working for Liris Lab, as a student researcher in charge of the project Causal Graphs to Predict and Explain Air Pollution Patterns Using Citizen-contributed Odor Reports and Environmental Sensing Data from the city of Pittsburgh, USA.

I try to fully enjoy life, recognizing that every minute is a gift, and I am determined to make the most out of it!
