What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth in AI and data science.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Engineering at UNICEN, where my research focuses on mathematical modeling using Python and MATLAB to assess the dynamic behavior and design of three-wheeled vehicles. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in engineering principles and advanced problem-solving skills.

In my professional role as an AI training engineer at Outlier - SCALE AI, I apply my engineering expertise to review and validate code for training large language models. I ensure correctness and clarity while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. Additionally, I teach Data Science and Analytics courses at Coderhouse, sharing my knowledge with students across Latin America.
