Hi, I'm Rodrigo González del Cueto, a computer scientist and firmware engineer.
My journey began at UNAM, where I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science. During my time there, I dove into the fascinating world of computational intelligence at IIMAS, researching and optimizing CPU and GPU implementations of bio-inspired algorithms like genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and differential evolution. This culminated in my dissertation, "Parallelization of Bio-inspired Meta-heuristics", under the guidance of Katya Rodríguez Vázquez.
My professional career has centered around x86 architecture, with a focus on platform security, driver development, and system-level debugging. I am passionate about building secure and reliable systems. As a silicon firmware engineer at Intel, I've had the opportunity to contribute to a diverse range of x86 platforms. My work has spanned both Client and Server segments, including development on Xeon Phi processors (Knights Landing and Knights Mill) and multiple generations of Client projects.
I'm fascinated by recent advancements in computational intelligence, computer graphics, and computer vision. And while computer science holds a special place in my heart, I'm also captivated by the wonders of biology and physics, always seeking to learn and expand my understanding of the world around me.
I'm an avid cyclist and find joy in exploring the outdoors, both on and off the bike.
My creative side finds expression through various visual arts, including photography, painting, and drawing. I'm particularly drawn to the challenges of astrophotography, high-speed photography, macro photography, and microscopy, always eager to capture the world from unique perspectives.
In my spare time, you'll often find me tinkering with electronics or bringing ideas to life with my 3D printer. I believe in continuous learning and exploration, and I'm always open to new challenges and opportunities.
