About

Hi 👋, I'm Rodrigo

... and I've always been fascinated by problem solving. That is why I picked up programming – so that I could solve more problems.

I also love sharing knowledge, and that is why I spend so much time writing articles for the mathspp blog, writing books, sharing Python tips on Twitter @mathsppblog, and giving Python trainings.

I'm currently obsessed with comprehensions, generators, and the module itertools. While I was getting my MSc in applied mathematics, my main area of scientific interest was numerical analysis (numerical methods for partial differential equations are fun!). I also enjoy reading fantasy books, watching silly comedy movies, and eating chocolate.
