😁 About Me

Hello! I’m Alan Crespo Murillo, currently in my seventh semester of Engineering in Data Intelligence and Cybersecurity at Universidad Panamericana in Mexico City. Although I’m Mexican, I spent formative years living in Costa Rica, where I developed a passion for poetry and urbanism. Back in Mexico, my studies sparked a deep interest in artificial intelligence and its real-world applications. I’m also a dedicated cryptocurrency enthusiast and I like to explore new themes and projects. I’m always eager to collaborate on projects that explore topics outside my current area of expertise.

I joined GTC, because I want to explore new areas of investigation. I would like to meet new people and collaborate on developing projects that can last for years. For me, GTC is a great environment for meeting very talented people and learning from other fields.

🐾 My AI+X Journey

  • (2025.7) Machine Learning for Financing Forecast 

  • My plan is to take then:

    • Machine Learning in Quantitative Finance - J.P. Morgan Project

    • Co-designing Quantum Computing Architecture - IBM Project

    • Quantum Machine Learning - Google Quantum AI Project

🎈 Fun Facts

I love playing chess—fun fact: I actually met my girlfriend in our university chess club.

I spent part of my adolescence in Costa Rica, where I first fell in love with poetry and natural environments.

I’m a literature enthusiast, especially works about nature. My favorite poet is Eugenio Montejo and my favorite novel is Kokoro by Natsume Sōseki.
