What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my data expertise in innovative projects, with a focus on collaboration and strategic impact.

I am a data-driven professional with international experience in transforming complex datasets into actionable insights. My expertise lies in mathematical modeling, machine learning, and data visualization, complemented by hands-on skills in ETL, statistical analysis, and stakeholder communication. I have developed predictive and explanatory mathematical models using Python and Stella, and designed user-friendly dashboards to enhance stakeholder engagement.

Throughout my career, I have published four scientific research papers that have influenced decision-making processes in both academia and the public sector. My role as a Senior Markets and Business Development Analyst at Ernst & Young involved building interactive Power BI dashboards and participating in consultancy projects that improved operational outcomes for businesses. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive strategic planning and long-term growth.
