Welcome to my space! My name is Carla and I'm currently working as a Software Engineer at Microsoft.
I have a Master of Science in Machine Learning from Columbia University, and BS degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics form University of Barcelona.
For the past 7 years I have been working on amazing projects which have helped me
grow as a Computer Scientist and as a Mathematitian, always willing to shape up the world.
- Implemented a feature to give M365 Apps Admin Center admins the ability to deactivate Cloud Updates.
- Collaborated with engineers, PMs, and designers to implement the feature end-to-end.
- Successfully tested end-to-end the deactivation workflow.
- Increased customer trust and adoption by providing admins control over their management of devices at an enterprise level.
- Tech stack: React, C#, Service Fabric.
- Designed and developed an RPS (requests per second) load-feedback segregated per application system.
- Increased the traffic distribution efficiency per cluster by providing application-specific metrics to the load balancer.
- Presented and discussed the solution with team members before, during and after the development process.
- Gained substantial experience in microservices architectures and on the design, development, and management of large-scale distributed systems.
- Tech stack: C#, Service Fabric.
- Designed, implemented, and integrated a video processing QA workflow to automatically validate
Amazon books video trailers.
- This tool can currently validate 1000 videos in under 10 minutes, while it took two weeks to perform the
same process by an internal team.
- The workflow uses state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to perform the corresponding checks.
- The architecture is microservices-based and is Native to AWS, all built using AWS CDK.
- Tech stack: Python, Typescript, Java, AWS CDK.
Designed and integrated a workflow to generate themes for the Amazon books.
Created an optimal color palette to fit the book's theme using quantization
algorithms and machine learning. Also built a Video QA system PoC and proved that Video
QA can be automated, by which a lot of money could be saved.
- Tech stack: Python, Typescript, Java, AWS, AWS CDK, OpenCV.
Designed, developed, tested and deployed an end to end internal chatbot
application that provides insights and troubleshooting into Twilio's media recordings
data. This tool is helping the Twilio TSEs ease their work when dealing with customers' issues.
- Tech stack: Python, Flask, Bash, Docker, and AWS
Helped to organize 2020 Looking at People Challenge FG Identity-preserved human detection,
a challenge for people to detect people in images and videos. Helped in the development
of a system that detects people in images and videos based on their body parts. Published
my first scientific paper at the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition.
- Tech stack: Python, OpenCV.
During my academic career I have developed both technical and soft skills. The first ones have resulted in scholarships and to beeing able to attend events and conferences. And my soft skills have helped me to work efficiently, both on my own and with a team of people.
During my bachelor degrees I have completed thirteen courses with honors. This means that I received a full tuition scholarship to complete thirteen more courses.
On 2020 I had the opportunity to be involved in a real research group for the first time and publish my first scientific paper. On the same year, I could write my first blog post on the Twilio blog. Later on, in 2021 and as an Amazon intern, I could work on a very research-oriented project, in which I had the opportunity to work with machine learning models and on the maths behind color theory.
I have been invited to a number of events and hackathons organized by companies such as Google, Facebook and Bloomberg. On July 2021 I was one of the 36 selected people out of a pool of thousands of EMEA students, to attend Google's Inside Look program. Similarly, on 2020 I was selected to attend the Bloomberg's Women in Technology program.
Before I started my bachelor degrees I was an 800m athlete. I won six Spanish national medals on youth categories and also attended the Youth Olympic Games representing Spain, held in Tbilisi in 2015.
