• Champion of "Recopa" 2023 playing for Sapiens Sigma F. C. 

• Amateur mountain climber reaching the top at Volcano Malintzin (Mex, 2012), Mountain of the Santa Catalina Castle (Spain, 2017 and 2018),  the source of the Borosa River (Spain, 2022),  La Maroma (Spain, 2022), Volcano Tacaná (Mex, 2023).

• Absolutely bad singer and guitar player with some tracks on SoundCloud. Click it at your own risk! 

• Main designer of the logo of the Biosignal Processing and Medical Computing Lab at INAOE,  which is composed of two main elements. The first element is based on the silhouettes of the volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl ("The Sleeping Woman"). The second one is an adaptation of the Rod of Asclepius using the wavelet transform symbol psi as the rod.

• Most Smiling Player awarded by Power Challengers F.C. in Trondheim, Norway. December 2019. LOL.  Thanks a lot, Andreas Giannakis and Gard Lyng Rødal!

• Writer of a short essay entitled "¿Voseo en México? - Breve perspectiva del voseo en Chiapas" in 2014. This essay sums up the state of voseo in Chiapas (Mexico) and it promotes its preservation due to it being a distinctive linguistic trait of that Mexican region. This is an example of the richness of Mexican culture and it also links us with broad zones of Hispanic America. 

• 2nd place in "Carrera del Parachico". Category "Infantil mayor", 5 Km. Chiapa de Corzo 2001. Being a parachico is not mandatory for runners, xD.
