Santiago Bolaños Vega

¡Hola!I'm Santiago.I love watching , and now I'm trying to about it.

I work as an AI Builder at Groupon, in Chicago.

I recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a Master's in Information Systems Management, with a summer as an AI engineering intern at Atria along the way.

It started at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, where I studied Systems and Computer Engineering.

This site is mostly a look back. The work of the last few years deserves a place to live, and putting it together has shown me how much I've grown.

The rest is here because sometimes, I just want to share.

I'm from Bogotá, Colombia.

What I miss most about Colombia is my dog, Shiro, my best adventure buddy.

My dream is to sail the Pacific.

These days I'm trying to do more bouldering, yoga and pilates at First Ascent in Chicago.

Reach me on GitHub, LinkedIn or Email.
