Everyone has their niche in the world where they find the most joy and fulfillment. For me that has become Accessibility. Some of my experience comes from my personal ordeals I have gone through as I have steadily learned more about what makes my brain tick and what makes my joints throw a temper tantrum. My professional experience has helped me along the way because it is where I learned just how diverse the options were for accommodations, treatment, and more.

I was initially thrown into the deep end during my amazing journey with the American Printing House for the Blind's Internal IT department. I gained insight to some of the struggles caused when environments, processes, technology, and attitudes are not accessible. However, I also experienced great joy every time I managed to help make someone's day easier by helping them be more independent and confident in themselves. Since then, I have held many other Accessibility related roles and made it my mission to spread Accessibility awareness. I've done so through by improving Code Louisville's Accessibility policies and coursework as a mentor, speaking at domestic & international events, providing support online, and so much more. I plan to continue to do what I can for as long as I am able.

Hi there… I'm Rodrigo, a Microsoft technologies veteran with more than 20+ years of experience.

In recent years, I have focused on Artificial Intelligence technologies, starting with Natural Language Processing (NPL) services such as Azure AI Language (previously known as Azure Cognitive Service for Language) and now with Generative AI (mainly Azure OpenAI), working on the potential and challenges (technical and ethical) of these new technologies and trying to help the community face them.

I also generate digital content to share my experience working with Artificial Intelligence services and resources, sharing tricks and strategies that anyone can follow, taking knowledge from the most basic levels to the most advanced. I publish my content through my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@CODERTECTURA), Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/codertectura), LinkedIn and X social networks (formerly Twitter), my personal blog (www.codertectura.com), and other media such as the ENCAMINA blog (my current company), allowing me to reach more people through these channels.

I am a co-founder and main contributor of the open-source library ENMARCHA (https://github.com/Encamina/enmarcha), which showcases some of my experience and knowledge with Microsoft and Azure libraries for Artificial Intelligence. The idea is to help the community adopt these technologies and accelerate their own projects and initiatives.
