YouInsight
YouTube has been, and continues to be, one of my best teachers. From playing the guitar to
learning about history and
programming, YouTube has taught me a lot. Nowadays, I use YouTube to gather valuable
information for my work.
My problem? The sheer amount of content is overwhelming, and no matter how much I want to,
it's hard to watch everything
I'd like to.
That's why I built the app shown in the video, YouInsight. It's a simple interface
that
lets you search for YouTube
videos and, on the same page, ask an AI questions about that video. A tool to extract
knowledge from YouTube quickly and
interactively.

Research Assistance Project - 2025
This project consists of three different subprojects (all written in Python, and all within
the
same GitHub repository).
1. A script used for automating
YouTube
video data collection using the
YouTube API and Gemini's API. Here's how it works: The user inputs a keyword for the script
to
search in YouTube. The script grabs the first 20 videos for that word, analyzes them,
writes a summary and extracts valuable quotes from each video. The output is stored in a
markdown
file.
2. A research workflow using ExaAI's API. Built to search
for
tweets and
store them in markdown
files for easy reading. The project also has a general search agent.
3. This part of the project is still work in progress, but it will be another search Agent,
which will use BrowserUse.
Econometrics Interactive Book - 2024
A project led by Professor Ricardo A. Pasquini, developed collaboratively with a team of students. The result is an interactive digital book designed for university students taking their first course in econometrics. It includes dynamic dashboards to help visualize and understand key concepts. I contributed specifically to the dashboard on multicollinearity. The book.
Defi lending analysis - 2024
This is an ongoing project focused on estimating the impact of parameter changes—whether relaxed or tightened—in DeFi lending protocols such as AAVE. My work so far has involved in-depth research, developing a solid understanding of the protocol's behavior, and, most importantly, querying and retrieving data directly from smart contracts.
Ski Instructor, Vail, CO. - 2023/2024
In the winter of 2023/2024, I worked as a ski instructor in Vail, Colorado. This was my first
experience working in a big team and taking on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of
a
group. It was also the first time that I had to brief the client on
how their purchase had gone (parents paid north of $300 per day for their kids to come to
the
ski school).
I learned about the nature of a workplace and the need to make one-self noticed, and that
eventually, the honest,
hard-working, competent individuals will succeed over the 'looters' and 'corner-cutters'. I
learned to be patient with children and what tremendous honesty and incredible intelligence
they
possess.
High School Work Experience, Isle of Man, UK. - 2018
In my final year living on the Isle of Man, UK, I participated in a two-week work experience program at age 16, gaining my first exposure to professional environments. For the first week, I worked at Barclays Bank, where I observed daily operations, and learned about customer service and financial processes. The staff at the office said I was the most interested student they had ever hosted. The following week, I joined the Department of Education, where I supported office activities, engaged with educational resources, and gained an understanding of administrative functions in a public sector.
