What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end data & AI delivery, partnering with product and engineering to ship production ML, manage delivery risk, and turn metrics into stakeholder decisions—using Agile/SAFe and cloud data engineering.

I’m a Technical Program Manager with 10+ years leading cross-functional delivery of data and technology initiatives across LATAM, the US, and Europe—now paired with hands-on data science execution. I build production recommender systems, multi-label classification, predictive maintenance, and demand forecasting, backed by cloud data engineering on GCP and BI delivery in Power BI.

I bridge technical teams and business stakeholders, translating model performance and delivery risk into decisions leadership can act on. From deploying a production recommender system validated by A/B testing and setting up GCP ingestion into BigQuery, to delivering consulting pipelines with strong AUC and forecast confidence intervals, I focus on dependable delivery, measurable outcomes, and clear stakeholder communication.
