Abdel Rodriguez

Vector Index Researcher at Weaviate

I am a Computer Scientist with a history of working in the computer software industry. I focussed my PhD in Reinforcement Learning and Machine Learning applied to the automatic control of real industry setups. For more than a decade I have worked in different applications collecting professional experience. I also worked for some years at universities developing communication skills.

At a personal level, I have built a beautiful family and I love spending time with them. I highly value honesty and transparency and run away from negative conversations.

Personal Q&A

  • Can you describe a typical day of yours?

    I wake up early in the morning and start preparing my day. When the rest of the family is awake, I prepare some nice breakfast and share it with my wife and kids. Then I help my older daughter to prepare things to go to school. I take a black coffee and start working really focus during the morning. Make an hour pause for lunch, again with family if possible. In the afternoon I try to work on things that would not need such a big focus since I am a morning person. I take a walk, or play something in family in the late afternoon before having dinner. Prepare my son and daughter for bed with my wife and close some still open topics from work. I then normally find something nice to see or read or do with my wife before going to bed. Did I mentioned this a week day? Weekends are completely different!
