What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply data analytics, BI, data science, Python, and Generative AI to reporting and decision-making challenges, building practical solutions that improve efficiency and reduce costs.

I've delivered reporting and analytics solutions for Cargill across LATAM ERP implementations, including CASC, CPS, and ANH. My Power BI reports improved decision-making and reduced project costs by at least USD 200,000, while BI guidance for ANH helped save more than USD 300,000.

I combine data analysis, data science, and business intelligence to solve agricultural, commercial, social-sector, supply, finance, and education challenges. I've built machine learning models, dashboards, and analytical tools using Python, R, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx, KNIME, and Hadoop, and have led BI work during a SAP S/4HANA upgrade while coaching analysts and promoting Generative AI solutions.
