Francisco Garrido-valenzuela is a Ph.D. candidate at TU Delft specializing in Urban AI and computer vision, with nine years of experience blending machine learning, GIS, and transport engineering to decode how people perceive and interact with urban spaces. He develops representation-learning methods to create urban embeddings that fuse image-derived features with human inputs, aiming to elevate imagery as a core data source for urban planning and policy. Prior roles in academia and industry—teaching land-use modeling and building urban planning tools—underscore his ability to translate research into practical GIS and Python-based solutions. He also contributes to the conda-forge ecosystem by improving CI/CD and build processes, reflecting a pragmatic DevOps fluency that helps move research software toward reproducible, shareable packages. Fluent across Python GIS stacks and urban simulation, he combines rigorous engineering training from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile with interdisciplinary research at TU Delft.
