Steven Garcia shared thisThis guy Big Datas. 😎Steven Garcia shared thisEl cierre de una etapa suele ir acompañado de un sentimiento de alegría y pena. Alegría de ver florecer aquello en lo que has trabajado intensamente durante un año, y cierta pena al sentir que se acaba un ciclo de la vida donde he aprendido muchísimo. Hoy celebro oficialmente el fin de mi Máster en Big Data & Business Intelligence. Quiero agradecer profundamente a Next International Business School y a Universidad Isabel I por haberme dado la oportunidad de estudiar con ellos. En especial a Pablo De la Vega Suárez por su paciencia y a Xisca Sorell Llull por su guía y mentoría, algo que fue fundamental durante este proceso. No puedo dejar de mencionar a mis compañeros Wilson Penaherrera, GRP ®, Steven Garcia y Diego Villatoro, no solo hemos estado juntos en la realización de este Trabajo de Fin de Master, sino que nos hemos acompañado en todo el largo camino que hemos recorrido juntos durante este año. ¡Mil gracias por todo, chicos!, este es el solamente el principio de una larga historia. Como broche de oro, presentamos BON'T, nuestra solución para identificar cuentas automatizadas y comportamientos coordinados en Bluesky. Lo que hace único a este proyecto es su transparencia: al integrarnos directamente con la API de Bluesky bajo el AT Protocol, hemos superado la opacidad habitual de otras redes. Hemos desarrollado además una plataforma web propia que, bajo estrictos estándares de seguridad y cumplimiento del RGPD, permite analizar miles de perfiles mediante modelos de aprendizaje automático, distinguiendo eficazmente la actividad humana de la artificial según el comportamiento del usuario. Por curiosidad, ¿sabéis por qué se llama BON'T?. Pues el nombre nace de una corriente lingüística en EE. UU. que utiliza la negación irónica para evitar que algo suceda; en nuestro caso, una declaración de intenciones para que los bots no dominen el discurso. Una vez más y para finalizar, GRACIAS ❤️ .

Steven Garcia reposted thisSteven Garcia reposted thisMy resume has got more feedback than my actual job applications... 😅 In the span of a few months, I received unsolicited feedback on my resume from several people. 🔹 Two were recruiters on LinkedIn who offered to “take a look" to see if I would be a good fit for any of their open roles. Both told me my resume needed tweaks to be ATS-friendly—one gently hinted at offering paid services, while the other suggested I try Fiverr. I thanked them, explained I had a general version and tweak it based on the role… and never heard back. 🔹 A third person I met at an event gave me more structured (and well-meaning!) feedback—but by then, I was already questioning every formatting choice I’d ever made and my life choices in general. What threw me off most? I had already invested in a professionally written resume tailored to the tech/data space. So to hear that it still might not be up to par made me wonder… is resume perfection even real? Here’s what I’ve learned: 💡 Everyone has an opinion about resumes—and many of them contradict each other 💡 There’s no such thing as a “perfect” resume—only versions that fit a specific role, company, and platform 💡 Flexibility is a survival skill in a job market that changes by the day 💡 Not every “free feedback” offer is free—some are sales pitches in disguise (and that’s okay, but transparency matters) And if you’re neurodivergent like me? This process can be even more disorienting. Unclear feedback, conflicting advice, vague expectations — it’s not just frustrating, it can be paralyzing. But building structure, finding clarity, and trusting your own voice is possible. And it’s powerful. 📊 The average job seeker rewrites or updates their resume at least 10–15 times during a single job search (sometimes more). That’s not failure — that’s iteration. Even with nearly two decades of experience, I’m still learning, still adjusting, and still figuring out how to present myself in a way that’s true to my value and market-ready. So if you're tweaking, doubting, revising, and wondering if your resume is “good enough” — you’re not alone. 💛 🗣️ Have you ever received resume feedback that made you rethink everything? I’d love to hear your experience. #JobSearch #ResumeTips #CareerGrowth #NeurodivergentFriendly #OpenToWork #DataDrivenCareers

Steven Garcia reposted thisHi LinkedIn Network, It is no secret that the algorithm in here does help the more you like and repost. So I'm asking for your help if you could kindly just hit like and/or repost, so that this can get to as many people as possible. In the current job market it's important that us jobseekers help each other. Also, if you're someone who's also job searching and happen to see this post, please tag me and I'll return the favor to you as well! #opentowork #data #dataanalysis #businessanalysisSteven Garcia reposted thisStill on the lookout for my next opportunity! The past few months have been a time of reflection, learning, and perseverance as I search for the right next step in my career. While job searching can be challenging, it has also reinforced my passion for data and its power to drive insights, tell compelling stories, and inform strategic decisions. With over 13 years of experience in financial analysis and more than a year in data analysis and data journalism, I’m eager to contribute my skills to a team that values analytical thinking, data visualization, and impactful storytelling. I’m particularly interested in roles such as Data Analyst, Business Analyst, Data Visualization Specialist, Data Journalist, Research Analyst, and Data Project Manager—but I’m open to other opportunities where I can leverage my expertise in data-driven insights, finance and research. If you know of any open positions, I’d greatly appreciate any leads! Your likes, shares, and comments also go a long way in helping me connect with the right opportunities. Thank you all for your support—I’m excited to see what’s next!

Steven Garcia reposted thisSteven Garcia reposted thisI have received a lot of kind messages lately. Yesterday Spotify laid off 17% of the company. Many of my colleagues were affected and i feel very guilty posting that I was spared. What a weird feeling of grief, relief and sadness all wrapped in one. Please be kind to folks looking for referrals, recommendation letters, or an ear to talk to ❤️ ********* Editing to add the following roles were impacted and if you or someone you know is hiring for these roles, please reply in comments. This list is not exhaustive and i'll keep adding to it as I stumble across more impacted roles and people. - Agile Coaches (Diana Ring and Anablava Abendroth are truly the best) - Site Reliability Engineers (Johannes Russek, Clint Byrum and Aaron Johnson are incredible leaders in reliability and incident management) - Product Managers (Meagan Mondragon and Henry Stanley are developer experience experts, Bassem Ben Hassouna is incredible at there product craft and working with stakeholders)

Steven Garcia liked thisSteven Garcia liked this🆚 On‑Premises vs. Microsoft Teams: ¿Qué impulsa más el negocio? 🔧 Infraestructura y mantenimiento On‑Premises: Requiere hardware dedicado, mantenimiento constante, actualizaciones manuales y personal especializado. Cada ampliación implica inversión física. Microsoft Teams (Cloud): Sin servidores locales. Las actualizaciones son automáticas y la infraestructura escala según las necesidades del negocio. 💸 Costos operativos On‑Premises: Altos costos iniciales (CAPEX) y gastos continuos en soporte, energía, licencias y reemplazo de equipos. Microsoft Teams: Modelo basado en suscripción (OPEX), reduciendo inversión inicial y simplificando la administración. 🌍 Movilidad y trabajo híbrido On‑Premises: La movilidad depende de configuraciones adicionales, VPNs o hardware específico. Microsoft Teams: Llamadas desde cualquier dispositivo y ubicación, integradas con chat, reuniones y colaboración en documentos. 📈 Escalabilidad On‑Premises: Crecer implica comprar más hardware, licencias y realizar configuraciones complejas. Microsoft Teams: Escalabilidad inmediata. Agregar usuarios o funcionalidades es tan simple como ajustar permisos. 🔐 Seguridad y cumplimiento On‑Premises: La empresa es responsable de proteger la infraestructura, aplicar parches y garantizar el cumplimiento normativo. Microsoft Teams: Seguridad de nivel empresarial integrada en Microsoft 365, con cifrado, controles de acceso y cumplimiento global. 🤝 Experiencia del usuario On‑Premises: Interfaces tradicionales, menos integradas y con menor frecuencia de actualización. Microsoft Teams: Plataforma moderna, familiar y en constante evolución, que impulsa la adopción y mejora la productividad. 🌟 Conclusión: Migrar a la nube no es solo modernizar, es potenciar el negocio Mover las comunicaciones de voz a Microsoft Teams permite a las organizaciones unificar herramientas, reducir costos, habilitar el trabajo híbrido y prepararse para un crecimiento ��gil y seguro. Es una decisión estratégica que transforma la forma en que los equipos colaboran y cómo la empresa responde a las demandas del mercado. ¿Tu organización sigue operando con un sistema on‑premises? Tal vez es el momento de evaluar si la nube puede llevar tu comunicación al siguiente nivel.
