What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build automation and APIs while applying data science and machine learning to real problems, in an Agile team that values clean code, collaboration, and measurable impact.

I’m a Computer Engineering student at Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, with specialized training from MIT IDSS in Data Science and Machine Learning. I focus on turning complex datasets into actionable insights using statistical models and practical programming.

Through my internship experience, I developed RESTful APIs using .NET and C#, and built automation tools in Python to support treasury and financial operations. I also created systems for PDF generation, Excel processing, and automated email workflows, using Power Automate to orchestrate processes and notifications.

I enjoy collaborating in Agile SCRUM sprints and contributing to end-to-end integration between frontend and backend. Alongside my development work, I design and optimize SQL databases, apply machine learning techniques (e.g., regression, clustering, decision trees, random forests, and neural networks), and support the team with tools like Git and Postman.
