About Me

Easygoing, yet kind of an outsider.

I love tech, especially how AI is transforming our world in every angle, trying to understand the anthropological, sociological, economical and philosophical side of things.

From the increases in efficiency to the ethics of algorithms and new tools that affect how we perceive art.

I like geeky manifestations where art crosses tech and teach econometrics, programming and crypto at universities.

I am building an educational channel on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook and Youtube. Find me as: datosconmiguel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

ENGLISH
For the local experience that regular visitors don't get, besides meeting the cool people here.

ESPAÑOL
Por la experiencia local que la gente que viaja no suele tener, además de la gente increíble que se conoce acá.

Interests

ENGLISH
I'm in a continuous growth process. Learning what I can and sharing experiences while enjoying cultural exchange opportunities.

I enjoy small talks or big long conversations with a glimpse of appreciation for each other's humanity and company.

I like tea, beer and local beverages and food, especially sharing moments with local people.

Small local places out of the reach of usual tourists.

ESPAÑOL
En un proceso de crecimiento continuo, aprendiendo de otras personas siempre que pueda.

Disfruto de pequeñas charlas o conversaciones profundas que muestran el aprecio por la compañía y esencia humana.

Me gusta el té, la cerveza y las bebidas locales, así como las historias detrás.

También ir a los pequeñoa lugares locales fuera del alcance del turista normal.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Biographies and history books, Essays and books from Walter Riso, Erich Fromm, Zygmunt Bauman, Albert Camus, and those like Persépolis, Animal Farm, and Mario Benedetti's like "gracias por el fuego", "cotidianas", "la tregua", "primavera con una esquina rota", etc.

Music: Big variety. Rock, Urban rythms like Hip hop, Rap, reggaeton, classic rythms, Blues, Jazz, electronic... And probably some others. Not so specific. You can ask and we can share music. Lately some new wave "mexican sirreña"

Podcast: Philosophize This by Stephen West. Can't recommend it more, awesome. Besides that, I hear some episodes of Nude Project Podcast, "Se Dice y No Pasa Nada" by Chumel Torres, The Bad Crypto Podcast, Economics Explained, and probably some others here and there.

Movies: Roma by Alfonso Cuarón, La vita é bella, Cantinflas movies, Spiderman movies, Disney movies, Anime movies, Spanish and mexican dramas...

Series: Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Frieren, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman, One punch man, Atack on titan... You can ask for more, not much in my mind for now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Huawei Research Facilities in Shenzhen, and have been a part time "tech officer".

Teach, Learn, Share

ENGLISH
After around 10 years receiving psychological counseling in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalysis, Humanist Existentialist therapy and psychodynamic approaches, I can share quite a bit of learing experiences :)

I can also teach some basics on data analysis with Python and R, statistics and a bit of cloud computing (especifically with GCP).

ESPAÑOL
Luego de 10 años de terapia psicológica con múltiples enfoques, de algunos libros y de probar teorías, tengo un par de cosas que compartir al respecto :)

También puedo enseñar fundamentos de análisis de datos en Python y R, un poco de estadística y computación en la nube (específicamente con GCP).

What I Can Share with Hosts

ENGLISH
Always a smile and positive attitude besides everything else.

ESPAÑOL
Una sonrisa siempre, además de actitud positiva por encima de todo.
