David Millan Escriva was 8 years old when he wrote his first program on an 8086 PC with basic language, which enabled the 2D plotting of basic equations. In 2005, he finished his studies in IT through the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia with honors in humancomputer interaction supported by computer vision with OpenCV (v0.96). He had a final project based on this subject and published it on HCI Spanish congress. He participated in Blender, an open source, 3D-software project, and worked on his first commercial movie Plumiferos—Aventuras voladorasas, as a computer graphics software developer.
David now has more than 10 years of experience in IT, with experience in computer vision, computer graphics, and pattern recognition, working on different projects and start-ups, applying his knowledge of computer vision, optical character recognition, and augmented reality. He is the author of the DamilesBlog (http://blog.damiles.com), where he publishes research articles and tutorials about OpenCV, Computer Vision in general, and Optical Character Recognition algorithms. David has reviewed the book gnuPlot Cookbook, Packt Publishing, written by Lee Phillips.
