My name is Sergio Fernández ( aka wikier / willy ). I'm a Spanish software engineer, based in Vancouver ( Canada ) , advocate of open technologies and ways of thinking. I like to say that I am I and my circumstances . So welcome to my personal web page!
As mentioned, I'm a Software engineer with wide experience productionizing and scalling smart software systems that combine different technologies (Information Retrieval, Semantic Web, Machine Learning or Big Data, among others). Currently I'm applying all my engineering expertise to a larger scale at Amazon , the Earth's most customer-centric company.
In the past I've worked at some of the finest applied research institutes in Europe: more than six years as research assistant at CTIC (Spain), visiting DERI (Ireland) in 2008, and as a Senior Researcher at Salzburg Research in Austria in 2012. Contributing in this time as expert in numerous large-scale European research projects and standardization bodies such as the W3C . After that I tried to bring some of those results to the market as co-founder of a startup in Austria: Redlink .
