Building data & AI solutions that ship.

I design and build data and AI solutions, on big data and cloud and grounded in statistics, that become real products and measurable results.

What brings you here?

Process automation

The same extraction, the same Excel, the same emails, every week. I automate the whole routine so it runs in seconds instead of hours.

  • Data pulled and cleaned from your systems automatically
  • Reports, spreadsheets and documents that build themselves
  • Recurring emails and notifications sent without anyone typing

Done before: a Peruvian insurer's paperwork intake, moved from manual processing to automatic extraction and approval.

Most companies have data. Most have AI tools. Few have results.

That gap is where I work.

For 5+ years I've led data and AI transformations for some of LATAM's largest companies in retail, banking, healthcare and insurance. The strategy and the execution are the same person: I write the Python, architect the system and deliver the result.

80% of AI projects fail on the foundation. So every engagement starts with the data, not the model. Is it clean, connected and trusted? Then AI goes where it creates real leverage.

I'm based in Boston, work in English and Spanish, and am completing an MS in Financial Management at Boston University, so the ROI case speaks the CFO's language.

How every engagement runs

  1. Diagnose

    Audit the data foundation and name the number the project will change.

  2. Design

    Shape the strategy and the architecture around that number.

  3. Deploy

    Build the solution and put it in production on your cloud.

  4. Scale

    Take the pilot enterprise-wide and prove the number moved.

What a data-driven company looks like

Play shopkeeper for a minute. You run a small grocery store and want to offer each customer one more product. Guess first, then see what your data says.

Experience
