What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver decision-ready analytics—building reproducible data pipelines, trustworthy indicators, and forecasting/risk insights—while partnering with stakeholders. I’m available onsite, hybrid, or remote.

I’m an applied economist and data analyst with 5+ years of experience delivering quantitative analysis for public and private organizations. I combine econometrics, time-series analysis, and reproducible SQL Server, R, and Python workflows to turn complex data into indicators, recurring reporting, and decision support.

My work focuses on price benchmarking, overspending monitoring, risk analytics, demand forecasting, and building analytics products with strong data-quality and traceability standards. I use OLS, IV/2SLS, logit/probit, ARIMA, and SARIMAX to tackle pricing, demand, risk, and time-series problems with practical, decision-oriented rigor.

As a Study Analyst at ChileCompra, I design and deliver recurring statistical reports and indicators to monitor the public procurement system, market performance, and time-series trends. I build and maintain SQL Server, R, and Python pipelines for integration, cleaning, and validation of high-volume transactional datasets, and I automate ETL workflows with logging, error handling, traceability, and standardized deliverables.

Previously, I developed demand-forecasting models using ARIMA, SARIMAX, and machine-learning approaches, and automated Python workflows to reduce reporting time by 40%. I also designed automated indicators for recurring monitoring and prioritization in tax-related risk work, and I bring a consistent emphasis on data validation, clear definitions, and alignment with non-technical stakeholders.
