My name is Juan Martín Loyola, I'm a computer science Ph.D. student from San Luis, a province in the middle of Argentina, working on early classification models for text. This is related to the problem of document categorization where we are also interested in the classification speed (there is a cost associated with the classification delay).

2. __How did you first get involved in open source?__
1825

1926
My involvement with the open-source world started, as with most people, as a user. First, as a teenager, when my father brought a [SUSE Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux) cd and installed it on our home computer. Although it didn't last long as our main operating system it introduced me and my siblings to the GNU/Linux world. Later on, in college, I began to use open source software for many tasks, for example, the operating system, the browser, and the stack to program for my classes. It pushed me to keep learning about the system and its components. I loved that! Nevertheless, I still felt like a newcomer. I believed that to contribute to those projects, one needed to be an expert, thus I never thought of contributing back. As I realized later, that is not true.

I found out about the Data Umbrella LATAM sprint 2021 through [Twitter](https://twitter.com/DataUmbrella/status/1394661734275821573). I'm not an active social media user, but I do check Twitter once in a while. A month before the sprint I read a tweet from [Data Umbrella](https://twitter.com/DataUmbrella) in my feed inviting people to apply to the scikit-learn LATAM sprint. Since I wanted to get back to contributing to open source, I quickly applied.

5. __What was your sprint experience and how was the experience with your pair programming partner and core devs?__

The sprint was amazing, in all its stages: pre-sprint, sprint, and post-sprint. I got the chance to meet, talk and discuss with awesome people. It was also a great experience to boost my understanding of the project since some of the project members were actively answering questions. Not only that, but the core developers were also giving programming tips, and reviewing every PR. This gave fluency to the sprint. At the same time, this was the first time I pair-programmed with somebody remotely. Thankfully all went right and we had no technical problems. Throughout the sprint, me and my pair programming partner, [Tomas Moreyra](https://github.com/tomasmoreyra), managed to make two PRs. We were pretty hyped.
