What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in Data Science, Machine Learning, AI Engineering or Data Analytics with Chilean or international companies. I'm open to on-site, hybrid and fully remote work in Chile.

At Heriot-Watt University, I developed Python and MATLAB workflows for experimental data processing, analysis, visualisation and modelling. I traced a systematic motion oscillation affecting manufactured surfaces to the motion-control strategy using signal-processing and frequency-domain analysis.

I also developed numerical models to compare measurements with theoretical predictions and automated parts of the analysis workflow. My earlier work included a machine-learning classification thesis using astronomical datasets and a Python tool developed during an internship at Thalès Alenia Space.
