My name is Mario Auqui, and I’m currently a senior at Wake Forest University, graduating in December 2025. After graduation, I plan to spend a few months traveling across the country, exploring places like California, Texas, and Washington State to meet new people, work on personal projects, and begin a new chapter in my life before starting a full-time role.
During my time in college, I’ve had the opportunity to work on summer research with a professor using object detection models for Amazon forest conservation, intern at The Clearing House on the Innovation and Machine Learning team, and intern at Atlantic General Construction in project management.
I’d describe myself as someone who loves to learn, constantly asks questions, and enjoys understanding how and why things work. I see myself as a leader, but also as someone who thrives in collaborative environments.
Outside of work, you can usually find me training at the gym, rolling in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, exploring nature, reading, or capturing moments on my mirrorless camera. Other times, I’m at a cat café with a good cup of coffee or already on the open road, heading toward my next destination. I’m always open to connecting, so feel free to reach out; I’d love to chat!
