Dania Beach, Florida – Nicolas Guzman, a sophomore majoring in Business Administration at United International College has been invited to speak at the upcoming Commit Your Code Conference on September 25th in Dallas, Texas. He came to the United States to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, and to continue his education leading to a Master’s Degree in Business Administration at United International College in Dania Beach, Florida. Fluent in English and Spanish, Nick loves South Florida, its diversity, and the different cultures and traditions.
In his native Colombia, Nicolas attended the Universidad de La Sabana and graduated in 2014 with his degree in Computer Engineering with a major in Software Engineering, Chia, Colombia. He is the recipient of several awards, among them for his Outstanding Thesis/Dissertation and Best Thesis Research and Dissertation about Quantified Self and Learning Analytics.
As a software engineer, Nick spends a lot of time, outside of his classes and family responsibilities, researching and publishing articles on artificial intelligence and cloud computing. At the conference, he will present a workshop on cloud technologies, drawing from both his technical experience and the broader perspective he is gaining through his business studies.
The conference brings together developers, engineers, business leaders, and enthusiasts who are passionate about advancing technology and innovation. His goal is not only to share insights about cloud, but also to highlight the importance of building a bridge between software engineering and business.
“I believe that understanding both worlds allows us to create solutions that are technically sound while also aligned with market needs and organizational strategy,” said Nicolas Guzman. Nick added, “Speaking at this conference gives me the chance to contribute to that dialogue, connect with peers across disciplines, and encourage a more holistic approach to technology and business.”
“Nicolas Guzman is a hard-working individual who continually achieves work–life balance and is a role model for other students,” said Professor Jack J. Rose, who has had the pleasure of having Nick in three of his courses. “He is extremely knowledgeable, and I know he will be enthusiastically embraced at the conference. He is a walking encyclopedia on artificial intelligence and its importance in business today.
Nick and his wife welcomed their son during the summer, and it wouldn’t surprise me if their son follows in his father’s footsteps. His enthusiasm and expertise on artificial intelligence in business are evident in his class discussions, term projects, and presentations,” Rose continued, and he is truly a motivational role model to all of our fantastic students and the entire team at United International College.”
After the conference, Nick will share his experiences with his peers and faculty at United International College.
