About Me

I am a data scientist and data analyst focused on turning complex data problems into practical, measurable solutions.

I work primarily with Python, R, SQL, and modern analytics tools to build predictive models, dashboards, and data pipelines that help teams make better decisions.

My experience includes statistical analysis, machine learning, ETL development, database design, and optimization problems, with a strong emphasis on clean data, reproducibility, and clear communication.

I enjoy working end-to-end on projects, from discovery and data preparation to model development, deployment, and stakeholder presentation.

I have collaborated directly with clients and non-technical teams, translating technical results into actionable insights through reports, dashboards, and visual storytelling.

I am based in Colombia, work fully remote, and am comfortable collaborating across LATAM, US, and EMEA time zones. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, with beginner Portuguese.
