List your skills and give evidence of your qualifications
I am currently a 2-nd year master student majoring in Natural Language Processing. After my graduation I worked during 2 years and some months in three NLP projects that have a direct relation with this project. With my jobs and studies I have gained the following skills:
Programming Skills: During my undergraduate period, I took courses about Python, Java and C++ programing. I finished my undergraduate placed in the top 5 position. In my second and third jobs I used Python as a main programming language. At the Master, I am using Python more frequently. Some of my works are in my Github repo.
Natural Language Processing: I worked in three NLP projects. Some of the main topics are: text-processing, sentiment analysis, text classification, summaritation, etc.
Spanish, Portuguese and English language: I'm a Spanish native speaker. I'm living in Brazil for over a year, which improves my Portuguese. About my English, I studied for two years.
I develop all of my own software under free licenses and make an effort to work in groups as often as possible. However, unfortunately I can't claim much in terms of experience with open-source projects.

During the May 19 and August 18 period, mainly my activities will be focused in the GSoC project and the progress of my master’s work. This year I don’t have courses at my master, therefore, my tasks are related to research activities. I do not pretend to make any trip, I will stay in São Paulo–Brazil.
About me
I studied at San Agustin National University in Perú, where I gained my BA (Hons) degree in System Engineering. After my studies I worked two years. In the first year, I worked in a research project about Automatic Summaritation of medical records, as a result of my work, I got some publications about medical record classification. In the second year I was member and worked in the Lindexa startup (Natural Language Processing startup), which was one of 10 startups that won the Wayra-Peru 2011 competition.
From Perú I moved to Brazil, where I am doing my Master in Computer Science at São Paulo University (http://www.nilc.icmc.usp.br/nilc/index.php). My research topic is about Opinion Summaritation. In Brazil, the last year, I worked in the DicionarioCriativo startup, which is an online dictionary that relates words, concepts, phrases, quotes, images and other contents by semantic fields.
This is the first year applying to the GSoC. I hope to be part of your team in this summer.
