Hi there, I'm Eric Cañas
I'm a Computer Science and Computer Vision Engineer who specially loves to develop Open Source libraries for and during my leisure time. I have special enthusiasm for Computer Vision problems and High Performance Computing. Lately, I'm becoming very interested in Web Applications.
From 2018 to 2021 I worked as a Researcher at the Computer Vision Center. Developing tools for Analysis and Dissection on CNNs and Deep Learning Super-Resolution for Microscopy (MSIM). During 2021, I moved to the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Barcelona, where besides Deep Learning I worked writing C++ DLLs with OpenMP. From 2022, I started to work as Freelance Computer Vision Engineer for Early-Stage Start Ups. I'm trying to build something great.
I studied a Computer Sciences Bachelor's Degree, where I ranked 1st of my promotion, and a Master's Degree on Artificial Intelligence.
I always develop my libraries under MIT License. Openly accessible for everyone's benefit.
Feel free to check my Portfolio.

- 💻 I use to code in , but since I discovered I'm very interested in building web tools.
- ❣️ I love , not only for Deep Learning purposes, but as the ultra-doped version of . It's like having the power of CUDA but in 5 minutes of coding.
- 🤖 I dream with building a system for automating every household task that is not yet automated.
- 🔍 Before to discover how amazing Computer Sciences were [2015] I studied Plastic Arts [2011-2013], and Scenic Arts [2013-2015]. My life changed just the day I discovered a tutorial.
- 📚 Three months later, I decided to learn on my own all the mathematical background I lacked, and to enroll on a Computer Sciences Bachelor's Degree. This is the right day I became a truly nerd 🤓.
- 🏡 I have been working remotely since 2018.
- 🚋 In 2021 I decided to move from Barcelona to a quiet coastal town. Now I feel closer to nirvana. I'm not returning to a crowded city anymore 👋.
