Álvaro García Gómez is a computer engineer specialized in software engineering. From his early days with computers, he showed a special interest in algorithms and how efficient they are. The reason for this is because he is focused on real-time and high performance algorithms for massive data under cloud environments. Tools such as Cassandra, MongoDB, and other NoSQL engines taught him a lot. Although he is still learning about this kind of computation, he was able to write some articles and papers on the subject.
After several years of research in these areas, he arrived in the world of data mining, as a hobby that became a vocation. Since data mining covers the requirements of efficient and fast algorithms and storage engines in a distributed platform, this is the perfect place for him to research and work.
With the intention of sharing and improving his knowledge, he founded a non-profit organization where beginners have a place to learn and experts can use supercomputers for their research (supercomputers built by themselves).
At the moment, he works as a consultant and architecture analyst for big data applications.
