About Me
I started my career in data while working as a biologist. During my Master's in Ecology, I discovered my passion for statistics and programming analyzing sea turtle data. In 2020, I decided to dive fully into technology, and since then I've built a strong track record in data, AI, and software, leading end-to-end projects across companies in different industries.
My first tech role was in a real estate tech company, building ETLs, predictive models, and dashboards. Afterwards, in a subscription-based book company, I took on a hybrid role as tech lead and data product manager—while still coding. Today, in the financial sector, I work as an AI/ML solutions architect applying NLP techniques and building machine learning models to power a financial products recommendation system as well as deploying AI agents in the strict and secure environment of banking.
My passion for staying current with state-of-the-art techniques means my clients get solutions built with the latest and most effective approaches. I'm always interested in understanding business challenges and building solutions that create real impact.

English
Fluent
English isn't something I learned. It's something I grew up with. Over twenty years of studying, working, and building friendships made it feel less like a second language and more like a second home.
Spanish
Proficient
América Latina ha sido parte de mi camino. Uruguay y Argentina, en especial, ya no se sienten como viajes: en Uruguay tengo familia muy cercana y comparto el mate, la cultura y el corazón cisplatino con mis hermanos latinoamericanos.
Tools & Technologies
Here's a snapshot of some tools I work with day to day. But let's be clear: tools are interchangeable.
The real foundation is understanding how systems are conceived, built, and stressed in the real world. How ideas turn into architectures, and how those architectures evolve over time.
Frameworks and libraries get replaced. Principles endure. If you understand the fundamentals, picking up new tools is just an implementation detail.
