At Grupo Lacour C.A., I standardized 42 production processes, reducing waste by 5% and customer complaints by 3.2%. I also implemented 5S and management KPIs and designed the Quality Manual.

I'm transitioning into data science and full-stack development, with training in Python, Django, analytics, and machine learning. My projects include predictive modeling on the UCI Bank Marketing dataset and DAMY, a Django transport quote system with fare simulation.
