What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles building production data platforms and ML-enabled analytics in mission-driven teams, preferring collaborative, impact-focused environments with growth and technical ownership.

I am an electrical and software engineer with a master’s in Informatics and Data Science, experienced in back-end development, data engineering, machine learning and DevOps. I have led data pipeline and CI/CD implementations, built BI tools, and contributed to EU-funded energy projects while working in cooperative and research environments.

I have delivered production-ready solutions using dbt, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes and Postgres, improved ML models with scikit-learn and PyTorch, and created internal analytics tools with Superset and Streamlit. I hold Chilean and Spanish work permits and combine technical leadership with hands-on development across energy, research and startup contexts.
