1 Biography

I am a Statistician specialized in data management and analysis, with a solid background in the field of data science. My main focus is leading a technical team dedicated to working with survey data and administrative records for the development of demographic, labor market, economic, and actuarial projections. My passion for data science has led me to become an expert in the application of advanced tools and techniques for data analysis and visualization.

In addition to my leadership role in data science projects, I also have extensive experience teaching Statistics at the university level. Sharing my knowledge and experiences with the next generation of data professionals is a fundamental part of my career. Furthermore, I offer consulting services as a specialist in the application of software such as Excel, R-project, Python, Tableau, SQL, Stata and other software for data management and analysis, providing effective solutions to complex challenges.
