William Arias
GitLab

I am a hands-on technologist, professor, communicator, and international public speaker with a strong track record of presenting at global conferences. I specialize in architecting end-to-end solutions and building working prototypes that demonstrate real-world value.

My work sits at the intersection of industry and academia. As a professor and Machine Learning lecturer, I design and deliver courses while supervising theses and helping shape the next generation of engineers and data scientists. This continuous feedback loop between teaching, research, and real-world application strengthens my technical depth and practical skills.

I am particularly experienced in delivering technical presentations and live demonstrations for industry analysts, including Gartner, Forrester, and IDC.

My skill set spans from electronic circuits and low-level programming to modern application architectures, machine learning systems, and cloud-native solutions. I strongly believe in a “Don’t tell me—show me” approach, bringing ideas to life through working systems and demonstrations.

Outside of technology, I am a dedicated boxer. The focus required in the boxing camps influence how I approach complex problems, teamwork, and high-pressure environments.
