    Hernán is a great friend and an excellent professional. He has a good eye for problem solving and a diverse range of skills to address them. His software engineering and entrepreneurial background give him a unique perspective on abstract business problems and how to tackle them with machine learning.

  • Alejandro Prince

    Hernan ha sido hace años un alumno destacado en la FRBA UTN, luego devino oficialmente en Ayudante y JTP de mis materias con un gran desempeño! Hace dos años partió rumbo a Inglaterra con una beca completa y ya regresó a Argentina con su Maestría en Inteligencia Artificial de Essex University. Amable y entusiasta, conoce la tecnología y los aspectos comerciales, es un profesional excelente con aptitudes integrales.

    Hernán is clearly a serious professional, researcher and entrepreneur who finds innovative ways to become resourceful in challenging situations. Due to his background as an entrepreneur, scientist and developer, he has a perfect mix of technical, industry and scientific knowledge. He is hard-working and recently got an MSc in AI working with international researchers. I think Hernán can be a great asset for any AI venture.

  • Rick Reddel

    I worked with Hernan on an innovative iPad application for the healthcare industry. Hernan provided expertise and an understanding of the capabilities of iOS as well as ideas for making the product better. As a result of his expertise, commitment and persistence we were able to deliver an initial product with more functionality than expected in a very quick timeframe.
