What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end analytics—Python/SQL pipelines, Power BI dashboards, and rigorous modeling—so I can deliver actionable insights with clear data narratives and room to deepen my analytics craft.

I’m an Economist transitioning into data analytics, backed by 3+ years of operational and business-analysis experience, plus a hands-on econometrics and data-engineering thesis project. I use Power BI, SQL, Python, and generative AI tools to accelerate data workflows and deliver clear data narratives for stakeholders.

In my current work, I lead an end-to-end analytics project (Python → PostgreSQL → Power BI) on labor informality in Colombia—combining a full production data pipeline with rigorous econometric modeling. I enjoy bridging technical execution and analytical depth so complex findings become actionable decisions.

My featured thesis project includes an interactive Power BI dashboard (DAX measures, choropleth geographic mapping via TopoJSON) and a Python pipeline that processes ~1.13M rows of GEIH microdata into PostgreSQL under a star schema. I also built the econometric framework (Random Effects and Heckman selection) and documented the full workflow on GitHub, with results showing higher education reduces the probability of informal employment by 24–28 percentage points versus primary education only.
