Ivo Lopez-Puccio
CS and Engineering Student @ Brown
Exploring the intersection of engineering, math, and computer science at Brown. Service-driven risk-taker that confidently voices his opinion to make change.
I Like to Do Useful things (with technology)
A wannabe actor and integrator of service and computer science
I'm an open-minded freshman at Brown University. I'm an American School of Barcelona graduate with Spanish-Argentine nationalities. I wrapped up the IBDP with a strong focus in Physics and Computer Science, driven by curiosity and problem-solving. I merge technical skills with a deep commitment to community service. With a proactive leadership mindset, I enjoy collaborating with others, taking initiative, and bridging technology with service to make a positive difference.
I am a natural risk-taker, taking every opportunity to grow and serve as the voice of the community: emceeing fundraising events, acting in musical theater, and representing the school. I am always willing to go the extra mile, and value respecting commitments to others above all else. Understanding the power of education, I seek to empower younger students through mentorship in acting and oracy competitions, as well as through tutoring in mathematics and physics courses.
I speak Spanish, English and Catalan fluently. I'm learning Italian on Duolingo. When I'm not coding, you'll find me acting! (Or playing videogames: a man needs his breaks).
