About

Hola! Soy Álvaro de Oaxaca 🌍 I'm passionate about using technology to help society adapt to a changing planet. My work lives at the intersection of GeoAI, satellite data, and people — especially wildfire modeling and the energy transition.

Currently I'm helping build a next-generation wildfire spread model that's lightweight, deployable, and locally actionable — supporting the people on the front lines of wildfire response.

Outside of work: calisthenics, raves, and interdisciplinary approaches to climate action. If you're building tools for a livable future, let's chat 🌸
