Even though I never really identified as Hispanic until high school — or Latino until college — I was always considered a person of color, another statistic as far as my high school was concerned. Throughout my educational career, from kindergarten to high school, people who knew more than I did told me who I was and tried to label me as different until I began to believe it.
It is because society instills the idea that darker skin means inferiority. Even in the Latino community, darker skin is stigmatized and considered lesser by many of those of Spanish descent.
Yes, Mexicans are terribly racist and prejudiced as well. As crazy as it sounds, blatant racism and prejudice were never a problem I have ever faced until I came here. I was content living my life as a Californian, where everybody is equally as accepting as one another. There is knowledge as how to be culturally sensitive and interact with those of different creeds, genders and ethnicities without being raging racists or sexists, or whatever prejudice labels exist.
I must reiterate, however, that there is a large population of Californians that do not fit the typical form. However, they remain a minority as far as I can tell. As I try to figure out the root of my aggressiveness in pursuing race relations at Notre Dame, it comes down to the people I am forced to interact with in my classes and activities everyday.
More often than not, I have found there to be more of a disconnection between those from the Midwest and inland states than those of the coastal areas and southern states.
As a general observation, I have found them to have a more difficult time interacting with people of color, making them appear less culturally sensitive and more ignorant on ethnic issues. I am not trying to be stereotypical or assuming. This has merely been an overwhelming observation.
I analyzed, beautified, and presented analytical findings from our various product tests to our C-suite in live meetings. In addition to producing Idle Frontier, I monitored and supported 'Office Space: Idle Profits'; a similar game based on the film of the same name.
I completed the Graduate Certificate Program after two years of online lectures, on-campus 'immersions', and in-person collaboration.
At Octi, I managed the gathering and processing of data for training our proprietary computer-vision algorithms.
I helped evolve Octi's slow post-processing video app into a real-time example of instance-based segmentation. Collaborating with brands like Forever 21 and Universal yielded cutting-edge technology demos; conceived and executed by my team.
In addition to assisting with the computer vision training pipeline operations, I oversaw QA of our iOS app. Tasked with inheriting and transitioning the massive geographically targeted Lexus campaigns, I quickly abosrbed processes for executing VAST, 1x1, and banner ads. Innovid's integration offerings forced me to dig deep into analytics and as an account manager, I was frequently relied on to solve discrepancies and optimize performance mid-campaign.
My ad campaigns gathered hundreds of millions of impressions. Our videos have gathered millions of impressions. I worked with the engineering and design teams to perfect our production software with a filmmaker's perspective. Towards the end of Fuisz Video's exciting existence, I became internationally client-facing as a campaign manager.
My team was also responsible for the QA of every video experience and the entire Fuisz proprietary creation platform.
