“Somos un respiro y aire nuevo”: Camilo Villegas, estudiante de Holberton School

Es apasionado por la tecnología y la educación, le fascina enseñar y siempre busca espacios para hacerlo. Durante los nueve meses que estuvo en la primera etapa de Holberton creó un club de inglés para enseñarle a sus compañeros. Ayudarle a las personas le “llena el alma”. Su familia siempre le enseñó a vivir de una forma “muy comunitaria”, sin discriminar a nadie y siempre ayudando a los demás. Resalta que su padre siempre está al servicio de todos, cosa que trata de replicar en su vida.

However, Machine Learning on Code is actually a field of research that is just starting to materialize into enterprise products. One of the pioneers of movement is a company called source{d}, which is building a series of open source projects turning code into actionable data and training machine learning models to help developers respect technical guidelines.
