Luis A. Mercado
I’m a computational linguist. I’ve also done work as Product Manager; QAE; SDE(T); and AI/ML Engineer.
I’m ex-Amazon, ex-Salesforce (contract), and Pinterest.
My latest thesis work involved an NMT Spanish-Nahuatl translator available @ Huggingface 🤗.
I come from a country where 69 different languages are spoken.
I’ve always loved languages and how they shape our worldview, it took a while but I finally linked two of the things I find the dearest to me: languages and computer science.
I live to learn…
My Story
Long story short, I have always loved languages, I love computer science. It was just a matter of time, you know?
I love working with smart, enthusiastic, and creative people to create and solve valuable, usable, and meaningful problems.
