About

Professional summary

I am an Industrial Engineer and Senior Data Scientist with more than 18 years of experience connecting data, operations, and strategy. I design intelligence products, advanced analytics, visualizations, and automation that translate complex information into clear, actionable decisions.

I have worked across the United Nations system, global consulting, supply chain leadership, and business intelligence. My experience includes supporting strategic planning, results monitoring, operational delivery, and executive decision-making in Chile and international environments.

I specialize in data modeling, dashboard development, indicator design, data quality assurance, and executive visualization. I use Power BI, SQL, Python, R, Tableau, Excel/VBA, cloud platforms, and enterprise planning systems to deliver reusable analytical solutions.

I also develop applied AI solutions, including generative AI prototypes, analytical agents, legislative and media monitoring, knowledge management, and traceable human-in-the-loop workflows. I am committed to responsible AI adoption, data governance, and practical institutional impact.

My background in supply chain, S&OP, service design, Agile, and ITIL enables me to bridge technical and business needs. I communicate effectively with both technical teams and executive stakeholders and turn strategic priorities into usable products.
