Introduction

Hi there! Welcome to my Blog! My name is Santiago Nakakawa Bernal. I'm 21 years old and I'm currently studying Computer Science and Engineering in ITESM CEM. People often call me Naka as a diminutive from my last name.

I love music and playing the piano. I am currently certificating in a Degree as Piano Interpreter by the Abroad Royal School of Music from the UK. (ABRSM), and hope to study a masters in music technology or music software development. I too have experience in different performances and shows.

Videogames are also another big passion of mine. I love playing videogames for both Play Station and PC. My favorite games are the Assassin's Creed Saga, the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, the Last of Us, Injustice and Uncharted. As you can see, I have an inclination for first player role-play games with rich histories. This winter vacations I recently played Rise of the Tomb Raider, AC Rogue and a lot of Minecraft.

About films my favorite content I watched last year was:

  • The Revenant (Again)
  • Infinity War
  • Aquaman
  • BanderSnatch
  • Your Name
  • Bohemian Rhapsody
  • Perfecto Desconocido
And in series, I loved watching the following:
  • Friends
  • Trollhunters
  • 3 Below
  • Ministerio del Tiempo
  • Riverdale
  • Rick and Morty
  • Disenchantment

About my expectations for this course, I do hope I further complement my knowledge of software design, as I've learned through past courses the great importance in a good design and how much it can facilitate and make a more efficient development process. Plus I hope to learn a lot of Ruby, since it is a programming language I've been looking up to learn since I entered the Major.

Moon Machines

Moon Machines The struggle to take the man to the moon So, tonight I just finished watching this documentary called "Moon Machines EP3: Navigation Computer" in Youtube. To be honest, I've never been too keen into space and aeronautics, so my knowledge about spaceraft technology and history is not great. I've always supposed that aerospacial engineering ought to be quite a challenge, and probably Apollo 11's mission to put a man in the moon is the peak representation of years of research and development of hundreds of engineers and scientists. However, I cannot help but to state I am completely astonished by the content of this documentary, as it relates one of many obstacles that engineers had to face in order to achieve the mission in time and quality: the navigation system in space.  The first thing that caught my attention is the fact that the US government chose a university as the main development centre (MIT) to achieve the mission, even when there we

Understanding the SOLID Principles

Understanding the SOLID Principles In a section on the book “Ace the Programming Interview: 160 Questions and Answers for Success”, Edward Guiness talks about a set of practices to have simple and efficient code: The SOLID Principles. The acronym stands for:  Single Responsibility Principle Open/Closed Principle Liskov Substitution Principle Interface Segregation Principle Dependency Inversion Principle The Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) states that each class should have one and exactly one responsibility. Only experience and practice will help you determine what one responsibility envolves, The Open/Closed Principle (OCP) says that each class should be open for extension, but closed for modification. When adding new behavior, we should leave the base class alone and instead create new inheriting classes, and avoid unexpected consequences for the original subclasses. The Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) says that the less inheritance we have in our cod

Hidden Figures

Hidden Figures Hidden Figures is a movie of 2016 that tells the story of different black women that were outstanding mathematicians and formed part of the NASA on its different missions during the Space Race. As (I suppose) most of the people that watched the movie, I had absolutely no idea who each of the main characters of the movie were. I had never read or heard of them whatsoever (which is the point in "hidden figures" I guess but well it's the truth).  After watching the movie, I had a mixture of feelings. I loved the movie, plus I'm a fan of history, and I LOVE historical pictures, so yeah, I enjoyed it a lot. I was astonished by the intelligence, courage and determination of each of the three characters. Many people tell stories about the scientific geniuses that changed history and the understanding of the universe, and it is pretty notorious that making all those break-throughs ain't a simple task. The majority that make these discoveries go throu
